I've had few clients over the years that have treated me with the same level of dignity and respect as Terry, a true gentleman in every sense. My condolences to the McManus family, your husband, father and my friend will be missed.

In May of 1997, my first week at Intel, Joe Crunk introduced me to Terry and we had an instant kinship. There was never a time that he didn't say hi and speak my name when he saw me in the hall, the cafe, a meeting room, etc. We shared time over coffee on many occasions at C10 and he was genuinely interested in people and was always available to talk to. When you did talk with Terry you came away with a new "sense of self". He had the ability to make you see yourself, work, problems and the world in a different light. Terry seemed to know if you had a problem and always took the time to find out, listen and offer insight if wanted. He was a friend for the past 7+ years and his presence in my life will be a blessing I shall forever cherish and his passing leaves a void words cannot express. The brief chat we had a week or so before his passing will now be a cherished and indelible memory I could never forget.
I have lost a friend, Intel has lost an invaluable presence and resource, the world has lost a caring, concerned, gentle yet gregarious soul and heaven has gained a shining star.
May his family find comfort in knowing that there are many lives that Terry touched and they are all better for having known him.
Rest in Peace

I was blessed with the gift of meeting and working with Terry during his last 4 days on this earth. Terry trained me to train other future Intel leaders. Words can not express how profoundly he has inspired me with his passion, energy, sense of humor, concern for others and for doing what’s right, no matter the risks. I will never forget Terry and his legacy will live on in my work to train future leaders. Thank you Terry!

It's impossible to imagine the world without Terry's smile and boundless energy. He made me feel a part of the Intel team from the start of our work so many years ago (with a wonderful dinner at his house) to the last audit this past year, when he stopped by our conference room just to say good luck. My thoughts are with Florence and the family.

Terry has been an inspiration and a friend to me for the last couple of years. On January 17th through Jan 22nd, we spent his last working week together on becoming a Master Certified trainer in Situational Leadership II. I treasure the time we spent together and envy the angels in heaven whom now have him through eternity. My prayers are with his family.

I had the pleasure of serving with Terry on the ASCE Environmental Engineering Division Board -over 10 years ago. I also went to Union college and Cornell University - about 5-6 years ahead of Terry, so we had a special bond. He made me feel proud to have gone to the same schools. He always tried to make a difference and had that gift of intelligence, sense of humor and in touch with people. I was lucky to have been able to know him and work with him.

Even though I left Intel 6 1/2 years ago, I can still see Terry with that big smile, offering a kind hello. When I heard the news it made me very sad. I didn't have many opportunities to work with Terry but he was the kind of guy you knew anyway just due to his presence. My heart felt condolences to his family and all associated with him.

I met Terry for the first time on January 18th and in just two days I could see so clearly he was a brilliant, loving, considerate man who was an inspiration to all.

He will be missed deeply and may he rest in peace. Sincere sympathy to his family during this very sorrow time.

He is truely an inspirational and wise soul that has left a lasting impact on me personally. I am saddened by this loss, and also thankful and honored to have had the opportunity to meet and learn from such a fine person.

Florence and family – you are all in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
I will miss Terry terribly, he was truly a very special and unique friend who has left a remarkable and indelible legacy with me and so many others. His passion, energy and vibrant pursuit of life was wonderfully infectious, I found myself on so many occasions in awe of the excitement he put in, and got out of everything he touched and engaged in. He had an insatiable desire to learn, discover and experience all aspects of what life had to offer, and he always gave everything he had and frankly then some. I loved the bounce in his step, the smile he would carry no matter where or what the circumstances, and his profound and deep care and concern for others and for doing what’s right. He was an icon, beacon of inspiration, role model and friend to all, to me. His passing leaves a tremendous hole in many of our lives – but his legacy for living his life out loud, for making every moment count, for passionately wanting to make life better, will live on within those who new him, and most certainly within ME.

Terry left a legacy behind that so many of us admire and will always fondly reflect on in the course of our jobs in EHS. He embodied the spirit of excellence in everything he did and his lasting impact to EHS truly made a difference throughout the world. We'll miss his humor and his partnership and his ability to do great things both inside and outside of Intel.

I met Terry my first day at Intel. Back then we all worked in Deer Valley - and a group of us ate lunch in the cafeteria together every day (back in the days when there was no one else to go!). He was always a great guy - upbeat, informed, funny - we had great lunchtime conversations. I will miss him very much. My sincere condolences to his family.

The world is poorer today than it was a week ago. Those of us in this book will have that sense of loss and that sense of thankfulness that we were privilaged to know and work with Terry. But part of the loss I feel is for the people who's lives were positively impacted by Terry without ever knowing him. They will unware of the loss that they too suffer.
I always found Terry focused on "doing the right thing." His actions in the environmental, health and safety area were not just motivated by making Intel and the industry more successful (although it did make everyone more efficient and successful), instead his actions were motivated by making the world better. For example, Terry would encourage us to figure out how to never create a waste stream because then we wouldn't have to figure out how to handle and treat it. What was the better use of our time and energies? He didn't reserve his efforts to a targeted company, set of employees or a given country. He was generous with contributing his time and expertise to all and was really a citizen of the world. It was an honor and pleasure to know and work with Terry. By heartfelt sympathies for his family and friends.

Terry stopped by my office in Santa Clara, CA just a day or two before he suffered his cardiac arrest. As usual, he was upbeat and enthusiastic about our upcoming Intel science competition. He was a faithful supporter of our education activities and eager to help out when and where he could. He had invited us all to his house in May for the Intel ISEF which will be in Phoenix. We will think of him then -- and raise a glass to his memory!
