Marcia and Family,
Our family has such wonderful memories of our time together in Hawaii.Through Terrys example he taught us so much about Gods love.
We pray Gods comfort and peace for each of you.

Terry will be remembered for his humor and great compassion. He treated you like a best friend, even if you had just met. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. We'll meet again on those streets of gold.

Terry became my friend after visiting me many times that i was in the hospital. He gave me great comfort while i was there. He was a great man. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family..

Marcia, just heard or Terry's passing from the Kindred gang.
Please know you are in our hearts and prayers. Terry and Jennifer OBrien

Marcia and family, My prayers are with you during this time. We were blessed to have Terry among us for even a short time. Thank you for sharing him with us. His presence will be greatly missed.

Marcia, Kristi, Vince & Kim, We were truly shocked when we read of Terry's death in the Manhttan paper. We have thought of you many times since you moved from Manhattan. We often talk about the fun times we had with you as neighbors; Vince bringing biscuits from Kentucky Fried Chicken when he would get off work, Kim & Jill singing together, plus the many other antics they managed to get into. But,the biggest thrill of all was being with your family to welcome Terry home from Desert Storm. What an exciting day! Please know that our family is so sorry for you loss and we are thinking of you at this difficult time.

Marcia and family: My father, Ed Jochum, was a patient three years ago at GPRMC. Terry spent a lot of time visiting with me and my family. Terry was always upbeat and very supportive. As we visited, he mentioned that he lived in KCKS, I live in KCMO so it's small world. We were saddened to hear of his unexpected passing. We lost a good one, but now he can look down upon us all from heaven.

Marcia and Family,
Thoughts and prayers to all of you. Terry was a wonderful neighbor and we so enjoyed the visits, waves and teasing from across the street. I know my husband Verne is really going to miss the visits and also his collaborating with him on the "cable tv" issues. He was there for us in our time of needs and also thousands of others. Although we rejoice in the knowledge that he is with his Lord and Savior, we pray that your memories of him give you all great comfort. We feel very blessed to have known him!

Our thoughts and prayers to all of you! Not only did I get the privilege to work side by side with Terry, but I also had the privilege of having him officiate our wedding ceremony. He always had a smile and the right words for a particular moment...happy or sad. Terry, you will be missed by all whom you've touched over the many years and GPRMC has some pretty large shoes to fill! Thank you for all the memories!

We were so glad when Terry came to our wedding in October, he has helped us through alot and will be missed so much....

Marcia and family, Terry always took extra time when he officiated funerals for people he had just met in the hospital. He made them feel comfortable and helped them through their loss. My memory of Terry will be when I was at a stoplight, and Terry drove by. I will always be seeing him in his new Corvette smiling at me over his shoulder. I don't think I ever saw him happier. I am terribly sorry for your loss but am honored to have known and worked with Terry. He will always be remembered by myself and our staff.

Marcia and family,
You and your family are in so many prayers at this time. Terry was a fantastic person, with his caring ways and a wonderful personality to go along with it. He was everyone's rock and he had a way with the patients that was remarkable. He touched so many lives during his time here at GPRMC and he will be truly missed. I feel blessed for having been able to know Terry and watch him work with the ER patients.

Marcia & family, We just heard about your great loss today. It happens to be 4 yrs. ago today that we lost dad. What wonderful memories we all have together! Terry is celebrating with Jesus & all those in the hall of saints from MCC. He is singing "My Tribute" to the Lord and to dad too! Oh how we love & miss you! To God be the Glory for the things He has done! Our prayers are with you all. Joe & Star

Marcia, Kristi, Vincent and Kimi Sue. So shocked when we heard, just today, about Terry. Our heart and prayers go out to you all. We were just reminsicing yesterday about you all and the good times we had together serving the Lord. I know he will be missed by many. Hopefully we will see you sometime in the not too distant future face to face. Bless you and take care. Carol & John Dyrek and John III & Shelly Dyrek.

Marcia and all the family, What a shock. Linda Fletcher just called us and told us about Terry. Our thoughts and prayers are coming your way. May God comfort you and all your family at this time. Terry touched our lives so deeply and led us back to the Lord while you all were in Monon. God be with you. We love you. Bob & Judy Hunt

Marcia, So sad to hear about Rev. Terry. You and the rest of the family is in our hearts and prayers. We love you and Rev. Terry so much and missed you so very much. Like I told Kristi on the phone: "We'll always have Monon." The memories are wonderful and will always be the happiest I've known and shared. I learned from Rev. Terry and you what it is to be a true believer in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks! Love you all very much . Love, Linda and Carie.

We met Terry in same day surgery last fall & had a most wonderful visiting session with him. We are so sorry for your loss & grateful to have had him cross our life paths. Jim & Tammy Purdum, Thedford, NE

Marcia: We were shocked and saddened to hear of Terry's death. Don't have a current address for you, but please know we are thinking and praying for you and the kids. Drop us a line when you can.

Lots of love and prayers to the entire family. Thank you so much for sharing him with us at GPRMC. He was our rock and will be terribly missed!

Marcia and family, as spoken before Terry was truly a man of God. He showed us all how to treat others and ourselves with love, respect and kindness. He was endless with his good works and his love of God. It shown brightly through his heart every day. We are all better for having known Terry. God is the lucky one to have him in heaven.
Terry, till we meet again, keep up the good work!
James 2:24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.

He was such a wonderful man I used to work at the hospital and he would have dinner with us a few times he had so many stories to tell I always enjoyed them. May god be with Terry's family and may he rest in peace with god in heaven. AMEN

Terry was with my sister countless of times when she was in the hospital with her ill husband --including in the ER when she was alone and lost him about a month ago -- she always spoke so highly of him. Extending prayers to all his family --

Marcia & family When I first met Terry we joked "It's a God thing" we had so many things in common, the Navy, family in Kansas City, love for our dogs, baking Christmas cookies and the love for our families. I feel blessed to have known him, I pray God will heal your hearts and you will find strength in His love.

Terry will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with Marsha, the children and grandchildren. I'm sure his dad was there to welcome him home.

Excited about life, level-headed in crisis, and with his ever present smile; Terry will be greatly missed.

Marcia and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Terry was such an asset to our "family" at GPRMC, for our patients as well as our staff. Personally, Terry was a great source of comfort through a couple of traumatic situations in my family's life. I remember some words he spoke to me..."We never get over this, but we get THROUGH this". May those same words comfort you as well in the days to come. God Bless.

Terry was such a bright shining star in the hospital. He was always there for everyone. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. He always went beyond what was necessary. He will be very sadly missed, especially when we need him the most. Amy Bella

Marcia, Kim and Haili,
My family and I are so sorry for your loss. Your husband/father/grandfather was such a wonderful man. I didnt get to spend a lot of time with him but when I did, I could tell he was a very charismatic man who spread joy and love to all he met. I know that he will always be with you. I hope you find peace and comfort in the memories that you shared.

Marcia, Kim and Haili, My family and I are so saddened by your loss. Your husband/father/grandfather was such a wonderful man. I hope you are able to remember all the fun times you had. I hope you can find peace and comfort in those memories.

Terry was an impressive individual. We talked a lot about the military. He will missed. My prayers are with the family during this sad time.

My heart is filled with saddness that I will no longer see Terry's smile at GPRMC. My prayers are with your family. May you find peace and solace in your many wonderful memories of a truely wonderful person!

Thank you for sharing Terry with us at GPRMC. He will be truly missed. God received a wonderful Angel.

Terry touched so many lives at GPRMC and in the community. He will be desperately missed. Even my sister who works at a local Vet Clinic knew him. What a tremendous loss our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Marcia & Family, Terry was such a joy to see him. He made me smile many times. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know that Terry will be missed. Terry was always a bright spot in my day, when I saw him.

Always willing to help, always positive, and one of a kind.

I didn't work with Terry for very long but he was always so nice and the first person to say Hello! I will miss seeing him in our hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Terry is greatly missed at GPRMC. I miss his positive outlook and sense of humor. May God bring you peace and comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Shiloh Folchert (North Platte,NE)

Papa was the BEST Papa in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!KC (golden retriever) misses him sooo much.

Terry was a great man and friend, as evidenced by so many fitting comments. I would only add that Terry helped us understand our differences and to see them as something that strengthens us. His knowledge of various cultures was shared in a respectful and unbiased manner. We are better for his having been a part of our growing hospital family and our community at large. May fond memories bring comfort to the many who mourn his passing.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family....Terry was truly a ray of sunshine every time I would pass him in the halls or in the cafeteria. He always would joke with me no matter where i was....he was also there for me when I needed it most to talk with...I loved his sense of humor and he always made sure I would smile...I will miss him so much...God Bless you all

I have known Terry only a short time, but he made me feel welcome from the first time we met, and always had a smile and hello for me even when we were not at work. Those smiles will be missed. My prayers are with you!

Marica and family - I feel so blessed to have known Terry - he was a great man and a wonderful asset to the GPRMC family. He always had a way to brighten your day whenever you saw him. I will miss seeing him in the hallways of GPRMC. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Take care.

I had the pleasure of having Terry as a coworker as well as having him spend time with my family during the passing of my grandfather. In both instances, he showed what a caring, compassionate man he was and he will truly be missed by all who knew him. God bless.

Marcia and family...Terry always had a smile for any person he met even if just in passing at the hospital. He brought comfort and support to those in need and an attentive ear when necessary. We will miss him a great deal. Thank you for sharing him with us. You all are in our prayers. May you feel the comfort of God's hands holding you now and always.

Marcia & Family. Terry was good man and a good friend. It was always good to see Terry when he was seeing patients in pre-op. He was a warm and caring person. I am not sure I have ever met anyone who loved his car so. It was always fun to talk cars with him. He will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

All of us in the ICU will miss Terry immensly. He had such a kind, compassionate way of talking to patients and families and was always there when we needed him. I miss him and you are all in my thoughts and prayers

Words can not express how much Terry will be missed here at Great Plains Regional Medical Center. He truely was an inspiration. Not only would he pray for my patients, but he prayed for me. May God Bless you all.

It is so comforting for me to know that Terry is in Christ's presence. I know that Terry has many many jewels in his crown for the multitude of lives he touched. I will miss him for his smile, his positive attitude, his caring demeanor, and for his Christ-centered heart. I am praying for peace and strength for your family.

My prayers are with your family. I loved seeing Terry almost everyday in the cafeteria. I will miss his smiling face. I will await the day I can see him again in the presence of Jesus. He definitely made my days brighter. Marcia, I am so glad I got to meet you not long ago....in the cafeteria!! Blessings and comfort to you all.
Mary Sue Haag LPN

You have provided so much comfort so so many people in this world. You will be greatly missed. May God give you comfort and peace.

We in the ER will miss Terry deeply. We have shared many good and bad times together. I always felt relieved when I saw Terry walk through the door during a tragic situation. He touched the lives of so many of our patients. God bless.

I still can't quite believe that Terry is gone. He was always gracious and made you feel that you mattered and were important. I'm really saddened by his passing and hope that your loving memories give you comfort

Terry touched so many lives here at GPRMC. We are all better and stronger having known Terry as a friend, coworker and most importantly a light on our faith journey. God bless you and your family and may the brightness of Terry's life bring you comfort and peace.

We have been so very blessed to have Terry as a co-worker here at GPRMC. Our hallways will never be the same without his constant positive outlook and cheerful demeanor. We will sadly miss him.

Marcia & family......Terry was a true light in my day and is definately irreplacable. I already miss him so much here at work. I lost two grandparents this last year and I could always count on Terry stopping me in the hallway just to see how I was doing. I feel very blessed that I was able to get to know Terry. I will never forget his loving heart. My heart goes out to all of you and pray you find comfort at this time......
