Dear Joan and all of Terrys loved ones,
Please accept the Leghorn familys condolences at this sad time of Terrys passing. I remember the first time I met Terry, shooting hoops in Tim Ms backyard in 1966. I came away from that first meeting happy...and I was always made happy every time I came in contact with Terry for the next 54 years! May you be blessed with loving memories of happy times shared with Terry. My deepest sympathy to you. Wayne Leghorn

McBride Family,

I am very sorry for the loss of Terry. My thoughts and prayers to you all during this difficult time. Terry always had a smile on his face and a good joke to share. He and my Dad shared a lot of laughs at the Knights of Columbus. Very sorry Tommie and Paul and family.

I am heartbroken by Terry's passing. I worked for Terry for a few summers during college. He was the perfect boss for a know-it-all college kid...funny, patient, and sure to tell me when I was doing something wrong - which was frequently for me. I still remember him teaching me how to sweep the floor on my first day. Our weekly golf matches are some of my favorite life memories - so many laughs & good times...and on this Father's Day we measure Terry's role as a dad by what a great man my friend Jeff is. Terry you will be missed immensely...may your drives be straight, your putts be true, and your beer always cold. Some day we'll ht the links again. Rest in peace.

Terry McBride was the best backup singer I ever had at the KofC Kids' Christmas parties. He was a gentle and kind soul whom I am grateful to have known as a fellow Knight of Columbus and friend. God bless the McBride family in this difficult time and may he rest in peace.

Terry was a person you counted as a friend forever. He was kind, personable, & quick to give that McBride smile. He will be missed by many and will keep watch from above. RIP old friend.
