Not sure what to say?

Mr. Miskell, as I knew him, was on the Lincoln-Sudbury high school faculty when I was a student there (LSRHS '70). I did not have the good fortune to be in any of his classes, although I studied math for four years. Nonetheless, after thirty-five years I still recall him as a fine person of great warmth and energy, in signature bow tie. My mother, who remembers him fondly from their working together on the LSRHS Student Exchange Committee, was very saddened to learn of his passing. Our...

Terry was the epitome of a genuinely good person. He loved life, his family, and his friends. I met him when I was a sophomore in high school in Athens Greece in 1974, and have never forgotten him.He made every kid feel important. He was a kind man, kind to everyone he met. We stayed in touch, with annual phone calls on his birthday when he updated me with his life and his family, whom he adored and was so proud of. I will miss him and our annual calls tremendously. The world has lost a...

Terry's was a gentle man in a world
where there are not so many any more. We will miss his smile and kind manner. May he rest in peace.

We, Barry and I, were very saddened to hear of Terry's passing and truly hope he is in a good place and his suffering has ended.

Terry - you will be missed but your spirit will live on. So many memories - Taipei, Bolton, Freeport. Thanks for opening your home to my family and friends throughout the years.

I met Mr. Miskell last year when I was thinking about college applications. Mr. Miskell was kind enough to give me a lot of valuable insights about how to choose a good school. Even when he was not well, he took the time to talk to me over the telephone. He even wrote a letter to Cornell University on my behalf. I will always remember him as a very kind and warm person.

I heard about the Miskells from my husband first. But when I first met Terry and Judy Miskell last year, then only I realized why my husband spoke so highly about them. I was very impressed by Terry and knew immediately that he was an exceptional and very special individual. I pray for his eternal peace in his heavenly abode.

I have been honored to have known Terry soon after I arrived in this country. He was a great host and a very kind mentor. No body has ever left a bigger impression on me than Terry Miskell. I will always cherish fond memories of him.

Terry exemplified what life is all about. He was not only a great friend, but also was a source of delight and inspiration. There will always be a special place for him in my heart.

May God give him eternal peace.
