Terry will surely be missed. I worked with Terry from 1977-1980. He was truly one of the most pleasant and kindest people I have ever known. Always a smile and a chuckle. God keep you in His care.

Absolutely a saint of a man and hands down the best boss I EVER had. My heart is heavy tonight. Rest in peace Terry. You were an important mentor. My prayers and condolences.
