Memories of Terry will always be held warmly in my heart. He was a good friend with a wonderful Family taken from us far too soon. I will never forget the kindness and compassion he shared with all those he knew and those in need. May your shining spirit continue to bless all of us with hope.

I spent a lot of time with Terry in Ketchikan. He put up with me sleeping on his couch for half the summer! He was indeed generous & giving. I wish all who knew him happy memories! Charlie Krumholz, Burlington, Vermont

Terry you will always be my childhood best friend. I love you and think about you every single day.

I worked for Terry when he was just starting out in the financial industry at Diversified Investments. He was one of the best bosses. He shared a lot of useful information on life with a college student just starting to figure things out. The world is definitely a little darker without his bright light.

I got to work alongside Terry as a coach for Special Olympics in Ketchikan. He gave time and energy to promote personal pride and independence in people with disabilities. He clearly embraced life and lived it to its fullest. He will be missed. My condolences to his friends and family.

I remember Terry just as described in his obituary. During his life time in Ketchikan, Alaska he became a dear friend to my parents, Marshal Wethli and Luise Wethli. He and my dad had a special bond. Our family will always cherish this memory.

Terry kept an office downstairs in the Nordby Building, where I lived. Got to know him there, as we all shared that cool spot.
He fitted in perfectly there,as I imagined him fitting in perfectly
anywhere. It's a skill. Certainly fitting in just as well now! RIP man.

Terry was a wonderful man, kind, generous, loving. Our last conversation, on the ferry headed for Ketchikan, he was talking about how much he loved his wife and her three boys. He considered them his own and was so proud of them and how they and their mom completed his life. I am sorry for the loss of this kind man.

Dear Mary and family,
We send you our love and condolences receiving the news of the loss of Terry. He sounds like a wonderful, compassionate and full of life person - as are you.
May the surrounding of you by your family and friends bring some peace. And may time heal and hold beautiful memories.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
