You could not find a more decent, friendly, kind and nice person than Terry O´Brien in or out of government or politics. At the same time he was incredibly knowledgeable and professional as president of the Metropolitan Sanitary District.

My condolences and warm thoughts go out to his family.

When I moved to Hillary's for 4th grade, Terry was already a leader. Seemed he always ended up team captain. I don't think anyone was surprised how far he went in life. A solid friend that would be there if you needed him.

Terry was a dedicated public servant who took his job and his responsibilities very seriously and he also was a most friendly and descent man. My heart and thoughts go out to his wife and family. He passed way too early and will surely be sadly missed.

I have many great memories of Terry. We were both Blue Streaks on the football team together. He always had a smile and a handshake plus a joke to go along with his good sense of humor. He will be missed.
