We can not express how sorry we are to hear of Terry's passing. He was such a nice guy, always ready with a joke and a laugh. I can still see him as a youngster running around on our little street and over on Heard street with my younger brother and sister.... Our thoughts are with his Husband and the O'Connor families.

I remember working with Terence in Malden Dispatch. He was always so friendly and polite. He never passed by you without saying a friendly hi or giving you a smile. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Terry, my beloved brother, I'll miss your quick Irish wit, sarcasm and kindness. Growing up in the 80's, having penny fights and driving mom dad crazy with Jimmy and Kevin was one crazy sight.

10 straight years of Monopoly nights on Thanksgiving with The Brothers was an impressive run. I always loved how you would always wonder how I won but still let me be the banker.

As grown up life kept us busy from each other for a while you built a great relationship with a great man in Mark who loved you dearly and we love him.

As life circled back around we became closer again recently and I am simultaneously at peace that as we got older we were able to say I love you brother but deeply saddened that you are now gone so soon.

It's heartwrenching to think of how much more should have been but heartwarming for having some of the final texts you had sent me and being able to recently share and laugh through so many of the good times. Soooo many funny stories I couldn't tell here.

I'm once again crushed and deeply saddened but will forever remember you my dearest brother. - Love Paul!

I will see you all one day again.
