Not sure if I'm going to be able to make it to PA for the service on Sunday, but wanted to express my heartfelt condolences. Teri was such a great guy. Always willing to help out and always greeted me with a smile. He will be missed by all of us here at HRSD NS Ops.

Teri was a great friend. Always happy and laughing. I helped him with his computer issues for a number of years. He had a rule that he was not allowed to "fix" anything on his computer he had to call since his fixes usually meant more work for me. But I never minded. I always enjoyed working with and helping Teri. His calls always meant some laughs and I was always grateful for that. Prayers for his family. Rest in peace my friend.
