My sympathy, Frank & family, for your loss of Terry. He had such a contagious joviality. When we were living in Europe and would return to U.S. every 2 years, we would always bring a Meerschaum pipe for Terry. I still remember the happy times when you would come over with many of Sharon's other friends to play records, dance, eat popcorn & drink coke in our basement rec.room. Contact me, please, '

To the Carr Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Its been quite a long time ago, but when I met Uncle Terry, he was one of the nicest persons I have ever met. We were just kids, and I respected him very much. I loved to hear the stories that Brucie told about him. He loved him very much. Take care and God Bless.
