Terry has been an old time friend from back in middle school. He always had a big smile and a real warmth when we met. We would recall, with many chuckles, the time his car was taken by a friend as a joke and I was the Reno cop taking the report. Other officers located the car and had the suspect at gun point. I rushed Terry to the scene so that he could get his car, only to discover another of our friends laying in the street with guns pointed at him. After the other officers left Terry and I were able to laugh about the incident, of course our friend was still a bit shook up from having several shotguns pointed at him. Over the years when I would run into Terry we would recount old times. It is hard to imagine the pain his family and friends are going through. Adios buddy it was good.

Rest in Peace TC. , I always looked up to you. You were a very kind man and provided fatherly advice to me when I need it most. Although I haven't seen you in 30 years, you have been in my thought often.

TC, Thank you for being a friend to my father, Pat Sr., my sister Shannon and the rest of my family. Tannenbaum seems like a million years ago and then just like yesterday. Time can go so fast. You are missed. Truly rest in peace...

Terry was part of our family growing up in Reno 47 years ago. We all loved Terry & he was my 1st puppy love crush at 13. He always remained special to me. I was saddened to hear of his passing.
My 88 year old Mother, Eileen & Marie were good friends. I remember Carolyn & Marie's visits in their T-BIRD. My Mom cryed when we told her Terry had passed away. She loved Terry too.
I'm glad I had a little visit with him while we were @ DMV couple years ago. He was still the sweet Terry,I remember growing up with. Terry will always remain in our hearts. He was so special. I'm sure everyone will be so happy to see him in heaven. We all have an Angel on our side now until we meet again old friend. Love You, Kathy Schopper

Even though we didn't see each other very often in the past 40 yrs, I'll miss knowing you are out there somewhere.
Kind, funny , jovial, upbeat, quite a legacy I'd say. You'll be missed.

Terry was an anode to his inventor friends, his energy force fueled more creativity than anyone will ever know . . . More than that he cared deeply and was one of my dearest friends! I really miss you Terry! You have your wings now . . .

I am extremely shocked and truly saddened to hear about Terry. Although I have only known Terry since meeting him in September, I do know that he was a very caring and supportive boyfriend to my sister, Laura. I want his family to know how much I have appreciated all his help and thoughtfulness toward her. I found him to be very entertaining and witty with a great sense of humor. Most of all he was a very positive person and never complained about being ill. I am very blessed and grateful to have known him. God Bless Your Family.
