HoJo beach days were the best with you and the old gang, wow, those were the days! You were always the star of the show... so gorgeous. Thanks for being at our wedding - all we are left with are pics and memories. Rest peacefully, you left this world way way too soon.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Terrence. Needless to say he was a handsome man both inside and out. Sailed on way too soon but God had other plans for him. Live for today.

Terrence - I had no idea you were gone. So young! What a shame. I only met you briefly in 2008 but remember you as such a sweetheart.

Terrence,
Labor Day is here, summer is coming to an end. The football season is about to start and your not around for the opening kickoff. The World Series is getting close. The beaches are closing and they predicted the first hurricane of the season. Time continues on, I miss our friendship and BBQ's. Batten down the hatches, rough seas and high winds ahead.
All of us miss you!

Still miss you:) Linda

Dear Terrence, I have only the magazine photos of you now. Although we met only the one time for your photo shoot in 1993, I felt as if I had known you for years. I've never worked with a model so down-to-earth and nice as you. I'll always treasure that 5-6 hours we worked alone together. You were the best of the best. May you be at peace, my friend.

Terrence,
I am sorry that this is the first time that I'm writing you in 2014. Baseball season is only a couple of weeks away. It's tough for me to watch games without hearing you yell at the umpire's bad calls or your screams when a home run was hit. I still have the CUBS hat that you gave me and will wear it opening day. I wish that we were able to sit in a sports bar wearing our hats, having a burger and beer for the first game of the year. I know it won't happen but I'll be thinking that. Rest well my MVP and brother.

February 13, 2014

Being selfish, but I need you right now, and I know you would have dropped everything to help me through this bad time, just like you always did. Love you my friend !

February 12, 2014

I find myself always circling back to thoughts of you. I never imagined such a vibrant person as yourself would be gone so soon. I miss you often. Phyllis

Terrence,
Another Thanksgiving without you being around. I miss your cooking, especially your Pecan Pie. I remember all our past Thanksgivings. The food, conversation, debates and football. It will be a difficult Christmas without you around. The thought of another new year is tough without you to celebrate. Don't worry about getting me a Christmas gift, our memories is a gift I'll cherish forever.

What a special person I am so sorry to learn of his passing at such a young age. We were in touch then as life goes we out of touch. But what a good man.

Terrence,
This was the time of the year that we sailed to The Pines, Fire Island. Those trips were some of the best of our lives. Fishing, swimming and having BBQ's. It seems we lived for those 2 weeks of every year. It is tough for me to go back, because your not around. It's my birthday and your not around to party with me. I will save a piece of cake for you. Keep on sailing my brother.

Terrence,
It's been over 2 years since you've passed into the Wild Blue Yonder. I'm sure your fine, navigating with only the Stars as your coordinates. Enjoy your peace my brother, you are at rest. It is the rest of us that live in turmoil. The candle always burns for you as your lighthouse. I truly miss my brother in arms and best friend.

I miss him too still. I am happy there are thoughts and pictures here to remember him by. Phyllis

Terrence,
It's Easter Sunday. It's early morning and I'm getting ready to go to mass. I will say many prayers and light many candles for you, my best friend. I will miss the Easter feast that you used to put on. I can still smell the leg of lamb that you would roast. No colored Easter Eggs for breakfast. I'm going to run now, need to make it to Church by 7 a.m.. Rest peacefully and happy, it's Easter.

Terrence,

March 1, 2013, it's been almost 2 years since you left us. Baseball spring training is back and you're not around to enjoy it with me. We would always discuss the upcoming season. Now it seems along with some of the players that are gone, you exist in memories and old photos. How I long for seasons past. I miss you my friend. Your best bud of all time,

Frank

It was such a beautiful day! Miss our trips, our talks, and your sense of humor.

January 22, 2013

Terrence I receive notifications when someone writes and it doesn't surprise me one bit how adored you were by many. I am attaching another of my favorite pictures of you, happy with your mommy and your brother. That is how I think of you know, that loving, kind, caring smile you shared with so many who were blessed to know you. Miss you and think of often. I like to think you are smiling with me those times.

Terrance and I met only once. We kept in touch only for a brief time. This, sadly, was my fault as I was too busy with work and never made time. Life took me in a different direction and I moved away. Sadly, we never spoke again. I have often thought of that day and how charming, sweet and kind Terrence was to me. I have, throughout the years, felt I missed out on...well...missed out on getting to know Terrence. I will always regreat that.

I thought of him today as so many other tmes. I googled his name thinkin I would contact him and find out if I still may find a friend in him. My heart sunk when this obituary was what I found.

I am truly saddened to hear Terrence has passed. I know I will continue to think of him often and regreat not reaching out to him sooner.

Sleep with the angels friend. I am glad you were in my life, even if for just a moment.

Terrence, today is Thanksgiving and it's another holiday that you won't be here in person. I'll set a plate for you and hope you do show up. Remember the time we had our Thanksgiving meal on the boat. The frozen turkey and the pumpkin pie fell from our hands as we were passing them to each other. They both sank like stones. I remember you being so angry because when we went back to the store to buy them again, the store was sold out. We had to settle for Cornish Hens and Mince pie. Thinking back, I believe it was one of our greatest Thanksgiving meals. All the other guests believed that was the menu that you planned on serving . Everyone complemented you for your menu and your amazing cooking. That's the kind of person you were, to make things right. I'll miss drinking our spiked eggnog together and watching the football game of the day. Don't eat too much my friend.

Terrence,
Another NBA season is here and your not able to enjoy it with me. We always caught the first and last games of the Knick's season. There is now a team in Brooklyn, I went to a game and it brought back so many great memories of us screaming at the players to "shoot the ball."
You just missed Sandy, the worst hurricane in our lifetime, it was a bad one. I imagined you rode it out, rough waters never bothered you my friend. Find some calm water the next time we meet. I found some photos of one of our modeling jobs. We both looked like we were invincible. I miss you and those days.

Terrence, it's getting close to the end of being able to leave you a message. It seems that as of May 4th this web-site will shut down. I think of you and pray often for the friendship that we had. You were the brother that I never had. Life goes on but it sure isn't the same without you around. I miss the sailing trips, bbq's, swimming and mostly the conversations. We would debate for hours. Stay well my friend, my brother. I named my pet fish for you. The funny thing is that I think you were a better swimmer. Peace.

Terrence,
I was watching some of the baseball spring training games. I thought about how for a few years we went to see some games. Yankees, Red Sox, Mets and your favorite the Dodgers. I can still smell the fresh cut outfield grass, the hot dogs, the peanuts and taisting the ice cold beer. We toasted each game. I see now that it reminded us of happy times and days gone bye. I'll bet your at all the Dodgers preseason games wearing your favorite Dodgers cap. Wish I was with you brother.

A new year and your not here to live it with us. I miss you everyday and I always remember your spirit. You were full of life. You left us way to soon.

Dear Terrence,
I will miss you dearly. I am saddened that we were friends on facebook and I meant to call you on many occasions but never got the chance. You were one of the first friends I made when I moved to Florida. You became one of my closest as well. Thanks for all of the good times we had and there were many. I will always remember you for all of the caring and kindness you shared with me.

Terrence Dineen ~ Headshot

Elizabeth Scott Watson

October 7, 2011

It is with the greatest sadness that I learned last night of the passing of Terrence Dineen. I met Terrence on the beach of Ft. Lauderdale in the summer of 1985 during a modeling photo shoot. We ended up having sushi together that evening and then he took me aboard his sailboat/home SPELLBOUND. He was a large part of the reasoning behind my move to South Florida from North Carolina. Terrence asked me to join him on many cruises, including those for various clients such as Wallace Tutt and Gianni Versace. To say the least, my life has been immeasurably more interesting and adventurous because of Terrence. I visited him in Boston when he worked there in the summer of 1993 and as I continued on my journey we stayed in touch. The producers of the "Jenny Jones" show contacted me in 1996 with plans to showcase men who wished to get back in touch with "The One Who Got Away." To my enormous surprise, Terrence had selected me. When planning my own circumnavigation with my cousin in 2000, I consulted with Terrence on the purchase of our yacht. There was no more astute (or handsome) captain in the world, of that I am certain. We always remembered each other on birthdays, thus it was last night when I called him for his that I learned his phone number was no longer working... leading me to my deep dismay. My heartfelt condolences go to his family and other friends. I am posting one of the many photos I have of Terrence. Additionally I have a quantity of his modeling composite cards that are nicely printed and that I'm certain would be appreciated by those who knew and loved him. Please feel free to contact me should you like to receive one... and perhaps to share a few fond memories of our beloved captain. Sincerely, Elizabeth "Scott" Watson ~~~~~ http://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.s.watson

Terrence was my first true love. I was 14 and he was 16 and lived 2 doors down in Cape Coral I will never forget floating down the canal behind our houses on a raft, putting wildflowers in his beautiful hair, anxiously waiting for his knock on my bedroom window at night, sewing up his sails for him, getting a ride to the bus stop on his motor scooter, and loving his kisses with all my heart. We met twice more later in life and my heart is so saddened that such a special part of it is gone. My love to all of the famil

I am shocked and saddened to learn that Terrence has passed. I will never forget his kindness and compassion. We spent last Christmas together and watched, "It's a Wonderful Life". He loved that movie. Like the movie he loved...the world wouldn't be the same if he hadn't been such a big part of it. I will truly miss him. So grateful to have had the honor and blessing to call him my friend. My prayers go out to his family that I know he loved dearly.

As with all true friends we could speak several times a day, or not speak for a whole month, but we were always there for each other.
It is with a very heavy heart I write this, and can't beleive I won't ever get to see my friend again.

Terrence, sorry we lost touch over the years....I'll never forget a single act of kindness, the day you ran off the beach to bring me an orthopedic car pillow for my back. That was probably over 22+ years ago. I still have it. You will be forever immortalized on our wedding video. Your vibrant smile and sunny charm is how we will remember you. The world is a little darker without the spark that was you. May you rest in peace.

It is with the deepest sorrow that I learned of Terrance passing away. We worked together for many years, and his love of life assured he was the life of social gatherings. His humor and wit was second to none.
