Terry was a classmate of mine at Salamanca, NY High School. I lost track of him after graduation - he to Air Force-me to Navy. He attended several of our high school reunions. Never was in his homeroom, but he was a quiet guy. Will miss him. Jim Plough

Terry was my friend and mentor at GM. He taught me about Engineering for sure, but more important - how to live and work with true honesty and integrity. Terrys family and his faith were paramount in his world. I will miss him but never forget Terry or the lessons he taught me. I pray that his family finds peace in this difficult time, knowing that Terrys influence extends far past his family and will continue for years to come. Mike Brisbane.
