Not sure what to say?

Terry, Dick Adams and I hung around together at OHS and he attended many of our 'Remington Gigs'. After graduation, I (and a couple of other friends) all moved to San Luis Obispo and shared a house with Terry.

We were just High School buddies and none of us had started school yet (University) at the time. It did not work out for me so I returned to Orange after receiving my 'Draft' notice for the Army and Vietnam.

WAS A GREAT STUDENT AND FRIEND AT ORANGE HIGH SCHOOL! SO TERRIBLY SORRY FOR HIS PASSING! WISH WE KNEW EARLIER! RIPI

Terry, You are my dearest friend. I am so happy to have known you, the past 20 years. You were taken suddenly and violently, all too soon, from us. I pray for Ralph, Carol, Marion, and family to find comfort, knowing how much you were loved and respected.

I am fairly certain Terry never knew me, although we were English Dept. classmates at Cal Poly. I remember having a class with him and being awestruck by the poetry he wrote. I have thought of him often over the years, always with admiration. I offer my prayers and blessing to the family.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Terry. My friendship with both Terry & Emily began in the 1980's in the local theater community. I'll always remember Terry's wonderful performance in 'The Petrified Forest' at the old hilltop SLO Little Theatre. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

My deepest condolences to the Tilton family. I worked with Sergeant Tilton at California Men's Colony for a number of years.

He was very kind and always a pleasure to work with.

May you find peace in your time of sorrow.
