Barbara,

I grew up with the whole Calhoon clan through Bladensburg Boys Club back in the 50's and 60's. My parents and Johnny and Maryann were very close for many years. Terry's brother Mike and I are the same age and we played sports together for most of our entire childhood. Terry was a big part of my life too. We played football together because he was so much bigger than we were. Our families lived only a couple of blocks from each other and I spent many summer days over at the Calhoon home playing with both Mike and Terry. Terry coached my younger brother Donnie in football after his days at Clemson. He was a good coach and a good friend. The whole family was part of our extended Boys Club family for many, many years.
My heart goes out to you for your loss. Terry and his mom and dad will always be a part of me. God Bless You and your family.

Sincerely, Allen Derwent

Dear Barbara,
I was shocked and so sad to hear of Terry's passing. I lost touch with Terry when I moved to Union but I thought of him often. He was such an awesome guy, I used to love hanging out with him. He will be missed but not forgotten. You and your family will be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. What I remember about Terry is how he used to crush me in during football scrimmages even though I was a senior.
