I know you are in a better place and I´m grateful for you and your wonderful family for many wonderful memories I created with your son Danny, as we were very close.

Terry was a great guy!
He always supported me even though he was a couple years older than me. That was such an inspiration to me at that time and I still think of him often and what that meant to me then and still does today!
Thanks my old friend,
Vic Salerno

Sandy & family, my heartfelt prayers go out to all of you. Terry was special to all who knew him and will be remembered for his kindness, wit and playfulness (as in your walk down the aisle after your wedding ceremony and all the Supple "boys" in tuxes, "saluted" you -- need I say more? I thought Fr. Lawlor was going to fall off the altar in laughter. Good memories.

Although I haven't seen Terry in over 50 years he has always had a special place in my heart. After Football games at ND he would come up to me and say what a block you made on that guy in the 2nd quarter or that tackle in the 4th quarter was unbelievable. He had the great ability of making me feel very special and I will never forget that !

To his family you were very fortunate to have a special man as a husband, father, brother, grandfather, or any other family member or a friend.

Rest in peace Terry, YOU WERE THE BEST !!!!

Terry Supple was a great man. I valued his friendship more than any man I have ever known. He always made a person feel special or interesting or funny even though he was more special and interesting and funny than anybody else. I will always miss him and love him.
