Sharon, I know there are no words to comfort you at this time of sorrow. Hopefully, time will ease the pain. Every time you look at your children's and Grandchildren's faces you will see Terry's living legacy. This separation is not forever. You will be together again one day. My heart goes out to you.

Sharon,
There are so many good memories,Terry was my former Webster Groves High School team mate and later, my fellow coach. Terry will be missed. We were deeply saddened to learn of your family's loss. From time to time we would converse with Terry in the grocery store, and we always took time to update our family statuses. Terry was a fabulous personality, and a model for all to admire. May God comfort you, and your family as only He can, at such a time as this.
Love, Walter and Cynthia.

We are so sorry for your loss. Terry was a sweet & very compassionate man who truly adored his family. Chris and I were lucky enough to have worked with him and hear his wonderful stories and "theories" about life. Words cannot express our sympathies.
Love, Jacki, Chris and Jessie Toman
