I worked with Terry at BSO and we moved to Massachusetts in 1987 and remained close. When we moved back to Florida, he moved also and finally wound up in Louisville. We keep in touch through the death of Colleen but I lost touch with him when his Dad died. I just found out he passed and I a truly saddened by this loss. I know I will never forget him. I saw him in 2010 in Louisville. We had breakfast at a local Cracker Barell. Same old Terry. I will miss him. RIP my old friend.

I just today found out about Terry's Death. I am sorry for the entire family. I have a load of memories of us trying to burn the candle at both ends. I also did not know about Collen. For those of you that don't know who I am, Terry and I worked together at the old A@P bakery and then worked in drywall for several years.
