Not sure what to say?

Terry was the best man, human being, I ever knew. I was in no way worthy of him but he was always a gentleman, a wry and wise man. I was blessed to know him and would give anything to see him again.

I was sorry to hear about Terry's passing. We were good friends in law school and maintained that friendship in Chicago. My wife and I were very sorry to hear the news.

Worked with Terry in the State's Attorney's Office. He was a true patriot, a great trial lawyer and boss and just a grand fella to share a few pops with at a place such as Blackies in the South Loop. In spite of his injuries while serving in the 7th Cav - which he was rightfully proud of - and later health issues, he always had a great outlook on life and was a joy to hang around with. RIP

God Bless Terry. A good man who spent his life helping his Country and then his County to keep the rest of us safe. He paid a great price for his dedications. Will always remember him fondly. Rest in Peace my friend.

I will miss Terry! Because for 34 years that I knew him he could do anything, say anything, make me laugh when I was down and bring me down when I was up.
Elliott Rubenstein RIP
