I am sorry it took me so long to write this message. In truth I found out about Terry's passing 1 year ago. It upset me so much I did not know how to deal with it. None of you probably know me. But Terry was a man I respected vevy much. When he came to Florida to work for a brief period of time. He took me under his wing. He and I built a great bond. And I respected him as a man and a mentor. When I found out about his passing it tore me up in a way I thought was not possible. I want to send my deepest condolences to his friends and family. Terry was a genuine man. He spoke the truth. Whether you wanted to hear it or not. And he gave every bit of himself to try to help those around him. I was a better man for knowing him. And I just wish I could have spoken to him in the last few years of his life and let him know how much I appreciated having known him.

Felicia,
We are so sorry for the sudden and untimely loss of your husband, Terry. While it will take time to overcome your sorrow it's important to remember that when we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind.

Can’t believe you are gone brother! Always good seeing you and hanging out enjoying a beer together. Now I know you are with our dads and I can only imagine the celebration you all are having! I know Eddie and Preston were waiting on you when you walked through the pearly gates. Until we meet again my friend. RIP

Terry was such a wonderful person. He loved life, he loved his wife. He always had a smile and kind words for me. He was a true gentleman. The reaction of his passing is sadness, tears, and stellar memories of his personality. He was always jovial. His love for his wife was like a aura of light that was ever present and he was so proud of that love. But most of all he was loved by so many and he will never be forgotten

May you RIP Brother, I met you at work and you always had a kind word or a joke. You made me feel like family. Even when I did not see you, you would holler at me! The last time I saw you was at Hopkins. You bought me a beer and we talked about nothing and everything. I'll see you later, big guy when my numbers up and we can have a beer up top and talk about whatever. You will be missed brother....
