Had the pleasure of meeting and hearing Clark Terry three times (1970,1976,& 1981). One of the greatest trumpet players ever to grace the face of the earth. A great human being as well.

A special life has passed from sight... Embrace the memories of Mr. Clark Terry that will comfort you. His love, care and helping other in music can and will be enjoyed for a long time to come. May the God of comfort be with you during this difficult time in your lives? It is refreshing to know that God's word speaks of a time when all sorrows will be gone and that mankind will live in beautiful surroundings having nothing to fear no pain or sorrow Isaiah 65:17, 21-24.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Romans 12:15 tells us. "Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep". Today I will share your pain to lighten this load you must bare and lift your heavy heart. How we long for the day when we will say, Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? (1 Corinthians 15:55).

I'm an old cornet, trumpet, flugel guy who revered CT as one of the greats along with Louis Armstrong whom I also met. CT was a giant in all ways, a gentleman, a friend, a comedian, a master of his instruments and a teacher without equal; young musicians idolized him as did I. Whatta gift:"I wanna be like him when I grow up." Fred James

A consummate entertainer gave Doc Severinsen's crew that extra identity as Tonight Show Band. Loved his solos and class Johnny extolled those singular moments Clark 'blew.'

Clark Terry was without doubt a great educator and musician. He influenced my kids and university bands for three years in the early 70's in Flint,Mich. He became a grandfather to our young daughter (now deceased) and our family will cherish our times together.

Be comforted in knowing that God is with you during this difficult time and
that there are friends that also share your sorrow with you. I find Psalm
