Mr. Terry influenced me in so many ways. As my Computer Arts and Commercial Design teacher I was in his class 4 out of hrs a day my senior year at NE Magnet. The thing I remember most was his drive to see his stude is succeed and the pride he showed, in his way, when the did.

Me Terry was my favorite teacher. He instilled in me a love of art. To see the beauty in all things. He encouraged me, he taught me so much. He made art class so much fun. Always playing music. I hear a song and immediately I am back in art class. And what a sharp dresser, a classy man. The world has lost a beautiful soul. Rest In Peace Mr. Terry

My sympathies to the Terry family. Mr. Terry was my teacher and he approached life with grace and impeccability. His flair was above the crowd. Mr. Terry also worked at Henry's Twin Lakes and he was the most exquisite dresser! It was nice to come in to town and hit some night spots ....we all looked forward to twirl on the dance floor with Norm. A very special human being. It has been an honor and a privilege to have him in our lives. He will be missed.

1st place Ks State fair. Thanks Mr. Terry

Sad to hear this. Mr. Terry got me started into my painting and drawing at Wichita Heights (72). With his encouragement and instruction I was winning awards with my earliest works and also later in life. He brought out my potential as an artist. I'm sure he did for many others too. He was quite the snappy dresser. His classes were alway fun.

Mr Terry was my teacher and he was gracious, caring and exuded class and flair above the crowd. In later years we would run into Mr. Terry at the clubs and he would always dance with us! It has been an honor and a privilege to have known such a special man. My sympathies to the Terry family.
