Not sure what to say?

Terry was my boss at Shasta Beverages in 1968-1969. I was expecting my first child. He drove one of his race cars to work and told me he could get me to the hospital in record time. Fortunately, the occasion never occurred. He was wonderful to work for.

Just heard, my deepest condolences to your family...

I met Terry in the late sixties early seventies in Johannesburg,South Africa I was a free lance photographer doing all the fotos for the local newspapers and the hot rod magazines.

We met several times over the years both on the track and off the last being in Cape Town,South Africa in the late 70s.
Articulate,Polite, Friendly all would be a understatement.
God bless you Terry you did your family proud. R.I.P
To Terrys family my sincere condolences.

To the Nish family-
So sorry to hear about Terry's passing. Thoughts and healing prayers your way during this challenging time.The "Nish" family name was iconic in Rose Park. My father went to West High with Big Terry. I used to go watch Terry and his sons race at Bonneville Raceway (the original name). Great memories of times past. Rest in paradise, Terry.

So many happy childhood memories spent at the fairgrounds raceway. We were there for my uncle Dick - #77 - Card, but I remember Terry Nish as one of the good guys. It was a privilege to grow up during the era of racing at the Fairgrounds.

Condolences to the Nish family. I'm betting Terry and Uncle Dick are sharing some good memories right now.

Dear Nish Family, So many memories come to mind of the many years racing.I know my husband Monte was proud to have been a part of those days and having raced with you. My deepest sympathy to your whole family.
The Monte Pendleton Family

On behalf of my late uncle, Eddie Monahan, co-owner of Foreign Motor Salvage, I want to thank Terry and Mike for starting the Utah Motorsports Foundation. I believe Ed was the first recipient to receive assistance. For this and many other reasons, the entire Nish family will hold a special place in my heart.

Terry reminded me so much of Ed.

I cherish the times I got to hang out at Ed's shop when all the boys were out tinkering on their cars and race cars.

Thank you,...

RIP TERRY.GODSPEED
