I greatly miss terry
I known hum since the 1980s and has cut my hair sense then
I had my hair done back in January of this year and was looking to make an appointment only to discover that he passed away more than 2 months ago and not seen any notice of his passing
He was always a true friend to have conversations with and felt like a family member.
It's a reminder on how fast someone you know that is here today can be all sudden gone tomorrow and not take anyone for granted.
Terry, you will be great missed!
No one can, or will ever replace you!

Since coming to Charleston in 1978 I've had my hair cut by only 4 other people which is the best way I can send a memory and condolence.

Terry has been my friend and barber for more than 40 years. Terry always had some thoughts to share yet he also took time to listen. My special memory came last year when I took my wife to Terry for a haircut. Terry always told me that " a beautician can style hair but a barber knows how to cut hair." What a fun memory.
Like so many people, I miss my friend.

We're so sad to hear this news. Terry was one of those people that rallied no matter what life threw at him and then made you laugh about it. He was a wonderful friend, neighbor and all-around great guy. We'll all miss him. Sending much love to Carol and the family.
