I am greatly saddened by Terry's passing. We were colleagues for only two years but he had a major imapct on me and my carrer. Later as our paths crossed, his as a parent and mine as a teacher and coach of his wonderful children, I found him a caring loving man. I miss him but he will live on in all those people whose lives he touched.

I am so sorry for your loss. Way to young. I recently lost my dad at age 67. However, Mr. P did live and make a difference in the world, without a doubt. I had him back in 1983-84. I absolutely HATED science, however, my most memorable and fun class was 8th grade science. Only Mr. P. could get away with laughing when many of us got stung by the bees. He created many great many memories for a a lot of people. He will be deeply missed.

I was only in Mt Olive for thirteen years but Terry was such a good guy to be around. His students loved him, as did all of us who called him a friend. I can still remember all the student-faculty basketball and volleyball games and all the fun he brought to them. He will be truly missed.
I will see you again Buddy. Bob Lutz
