I just found out about Terrys passing and could not be more upset. Terry was a consummate professional and simply a great great guy. He was an incredibly hard worker and did things right all the time. His smile was infectious and he had a great laugh. It simply was a pleasure getting to work with him and an honor to know him. He will be missed greatly and I cherish the memories I have of working with him and our talks about the trade and how we could help the apprentices become the best they could be. Rest In Peace my friend.

An absolutely incredible man with the best smile and sense of humor. Terry was always the person to make sure the customers at PMG were taken care of at whatever the cost. He would work long hours and still offer to help out someone after a long day. His love for his beautiful wife Danielle was obvious the first time he spoke of her to me. I am better for knowing him, Danielle, and the children. Terry showed me what matters in this life and I am lucky to have a loving, supportive, and funny husband now that reminds me of Terry in many ways. We love you Terry and will miss our chats and your infectious smile. ❤
