Terry - second attempt at the guestbook. Found out about your situation from another former Rocket/Bob Laudeman. We both agree that it was always a pleasure to be in your company. Maybe we can do better against Elder from your current location - certainly hope so!

My sympathy to the Madama family. Terry was a high school classmate who I know the Mcnick Class of 1961 will not forget.

Dear Beth, Pam, Anne, and Marc,
We were very saddened to hear of Terry's passing. He brought smiles wherever he went. He was one of the very few people who knew as many jokes as I do. Now he can do his entertaining in heaven. He will make it an even happier place.

Dear Beth, Pam, Anne and Marc,
When I think about Terry it is that he always had a smile.....a beautiful one. Ed and I were blessed that we spent many hours playing golf, having dinner, or celebrating a special occasion with Terry and Beth. Terry always made that occasion better and full of laughter. I feel so honored that he was my friend.
He loved his family, his friends and loved life.......I will miss him. Heaven just received one of the best!

Dear Beth, Anne, Pam, Marc and Family,
There are no words to express the heartbreak and sadness that Terry is no longer with us! He has been the other Dad in my life since high school and welcomed Brian into the family when we got married. So many of my favorite memories over the years were coming to your family gatherings and parties! There was always so much fun and laughter and games being played. Your Dad always wanted to know what was going on with everyone else. He was warm, personable and kind to everyone he met and gave the best hugs and always had a twinkle in his eye. I remember when he picked Anne and I up off the highway when we ran out of gas, in high school, and just laughed instead of yelling at us (this was long before cell phones)!!! The time we played Pictionary and laughed until our stomachs hurt because Terry's Dad was supposed to draw a "castle", instead he drew a road, and somehow we were supposed to know it was the "road to the castle". And most recently, Brian and I were at Anne's when Terry and Beth were over and laughing and having the best conversation. We both loved and adored Terry! So many amazing memories!!! The thing that stands out most is his generosity and endless love and devotion to his family. I have told Anne for years that Terry and Beth were the best grandparents! They spent so much quality time with each of the grand kids and getting to know them as people (taking Dean to plays, coming to sporting events, vacations, etc). Terry ALWAYS made time for his family and was devoted to Beth like no other and so proud of his kids and grand kids! He will be deeply missed and we were blessed to have been touched by his life!

Dear Beth, Pam, Ann, Mark and family,
We were so sad and sorry to learn about Terry. You all have been so gracious to include us in many of your family celebrations and get- togethers, that we feel we are part of your family, as you are of ours. We loved Terry for his outgoing spirit and joy. We all said he never met a stranger, and of course, he didn't. There are so many things that he was famous for. We loved his shortcuts through the back roads of our city which took twice as long. We love the fact that he was so loyal, first to his family, his friends, and then to the city, his fraternity and "my Bearcats". We loved him dearly and we'll miss our dear friend.

We are deeply saddened by Terry’s passing and pained that in this day of the pandemic we do not feel we can attend his services. We have many fond memories of Terry—Don especially enjoyed joking with Terry when he had his trucking business about getting a corner office with high pay and no responsibility. We had fun with that for many years. We will keep you in our prayers.

Blessed to have known him for the short time I did. He was a joy to be around and always showed interest in the lives of others. He was a very giving and loving person. I’m so sorry for you loss. My heart and prayers are with you all.

Beth, Marianne, Karen and Patti, we are so sorry to learn of Terry’s passing. We have known him for 60 years and have always enjoyed the times that we encountered him - mostly U.C. football games. He was always in a good frame of mind and so congenial. We know he will be sorely missed.
We are sorry that we will not be with you at the memorial service but Covid 19 is a hugh factor in our lives. We almost lost Jacqueline in early 2019 to a combination of severe respiratory problems that had her in Intensive care for a week. We are in an extra-cautious mode right now. Our youngest grandchild of 13 is now a freshman in high school, but only one is married and she presented us with our first great grand-daughter this past May. If I didn’t know better, I’d think we were getting older.
We will remember all of you in our prayers. God bless you and Terry.
Jacqueline and Ed

Loving husband, father and grandfather. Mr Madama was endlessly patient and kind and volunteered countless hours to coach and mentor the Forest Park Girls' soccer teams. Mr Madama kept us focused and disciplined and I don't know how he did it! We learned teamwork and made lifelong friendships thanks to Mr and Mrs Madama's dedication. Thank you to Coach Madama and his family for many years of friendship. May a lifetime of happy memories bring you comfort at this painful time of parting.

Momma Beth and Family, Mr. Madama was one of my most admired dad's when I was young. I loved how caring and involved he was, not only with his family but with all the people in his life. He was a truly lovely person who has left us a wonderful legacy. My condolences to you all.

Deepest Condolences to the family. I had dealings with Terry through business. I only knew him personally for a very short time, but always enjoyed our phone conversations and email correspondence. When there was an error on an order or invoice, he would always jokingly say "my 4 year old granddaughter must've been on the computer" - that was a standing joke between us. I don't know what his grandkids ages were, but I have two small / young grandkids, so it always made me chuckle... Most recently with the pandemic we talked about his Navy days and learning to take a shower with a glass of water. Good laughs!! I'm really going to miss that!!!
He loved his family, friends, church.. He will surely be missed!!!
God Bless & keep you all!!!

Beth & Family,
I had the great opportunity & pleasure to work with Terry for over 20 years. He became a great business partner & friend!
Our business lunches always consisted of good jokes- laughs, soccer, golf, high school, Bearcats-X, & Navy stories and his obvious compassion & concern for others!
At every lunch & meeting I ever had with him he always talked with great pride & love about you, his daughters, son, & grandchildren. I feel that I know a little bit about each of your life's journey and I know he will be watching over all of you with the same pride & love from heaven!
Like all of you I will miss him deeply and his memory will live in my heart.
May he rest in the peace of our Lord! God Bless all of you!

Terry was a kind and gentle man. The best soccer coach ever! I don't know where he found the patience and resolve to coach a rowdy group of teen age girls. Supportive of all his players, bringing out the best of all of us. Forest Park Flames forever!!

I was a friend of Terry and Beth from church. I got to know Terry because he was a devoted grandfather to Aidan who was in my preschool class. I also got to work with him serving on church committees. He was such a kind and giving man. I was blessed to know him

Dear Beth and family, I'm so sorry for your loss, I have fond memories of Terry and you at soccer games, many of those games in Forest Park. I enjoyed having breakfast with Terry years ago at a Sharonville Coffee shop called Already Coffee. I'm so concerned about the Corona Virus I may not attend funeral, I hope you understand. Danny Hamm
