Dear Char,
Like everyone else, I was stunned to hear of Terry's passing. Although time has gone by, I always look back on our friendship with fond memories. I look across the street and I can still see Terry way up high on the ladder spray painting the house while fighting off the bees. Then he'd collect the old nests (hives) and bring them over to our house where he and Andy would have a beer and dissect them. Just like two kids! Terry was a wonderful man who adored you. I know your heart will never be the same; however, he will always live through your children and your grand children....And that, my friend is where you will find comfort in the days ahead! I will be praying with you on Friday, September 4 at 10:00 a.m. Love, Helen

Char and family,
Please accept our sincerest condolences. I was fortunate enough to spend an hour on the phone with Terry recently, catching up after being out of touch for a short while. We shared a lot of experiences together over many years that I will always treasure. I'll be in contact in a few weeks after we return from Maine. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Char:
My memories of Terry go back more than 40 years to a young man who was one of the friendliest and kindest Brothers in the house. He always treated others with class and respect--which I'd wager was a common thread throughout his life. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Char: I was very sorry to hear about Terry. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, but I had the pleasure of exchanging several e-mails with Terry last year when we were planning the Delt reunion. I enjoyed them very much, and it was a great to learn about the wonderful life you two shared. I am deeply sorry for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
