Read MoreTerry was a fantastic friend to all. We were in school together from 1st grade through high school. Terry always had a smile and a friendly word for everyone. Last I saw him, was at our high school reunion in 2010, and although he was suffering, he was so happy to see everyone. Thank you for your friendship.

Oh how Terry will be missed. I met him when I worked at the clearlake gas station 2000-2005. In 2003 Terry offered to do my portraits for my wedding for free I gave him a huge hug and check cuz i have never seen portraits done as beautiful as the ones he had done for me. I wish i could have seen him b4 he passed he was like a father i enjoyed his company very much as well his wife too.

Terry was the father of my best friend Kate growing up and kind of a second dad to me. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a big heart. I will remember him by his playing air guitar, his laughter, his photographs, his most excellent taste in music and, most of all, his quote warning the guys about us two wild teenaged girls, "They're not just women, they're amazons." Thanks, Terry. It really does take a village and you were an important part of that.

Sam, Sally, Katie and family: We loved every moment we shared with Terry and with you. The memories over the years give us so many wonderful pictures in our hearts and minds that we will always treasure. His generosity, his smile and his sense of humor, always present, are etched in our hearts...we are forever richer for sharing our lives with him. There aren't words to express how much we will miss him. Love to all of you.

Terry, my lifelong friend, my "brother", I will forever cherish, your mischievous smile, your laughing eyes, the resonance of your voice, but mostly the selflessness and purity of your spirit. I will love you always.
Thank you, Terry, for enriching my life with your beautiful family. I love all of you, my world is better that you are part of it, I am here for all of you forever.
Sweet Terry, you are no longer "tethered", let your soul soar again, as it once did, as it...
