Bob and I met Terry in Newton, NC about 10 years ago. When we found out how much he loved to fish, a few invitations for him and his family to come visit us soon followed. Terry caught this 9.4 lb. bluefish on July 4, 2011 from our pier on the Intracoastal Waterway! At dinner the next night, Addison was not eager to try that fish. But when she was told "her dad had caught it", she quickly came to Terry with her mouth "wide open"! That was a very touching moment! We also have fond memories of how gracious Terry was! After each visit, he would always leave a special "thank you" note on their bedside table! Terry is truly missed by friends and family alike.
