I just found this out today (2024) and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I was in his 2001 radiology class and his impact on me was lifelong. He was an outstanding teacher and an all around amazing human...
I am so sorry the world lost him.

I just learned of Terry´s passing from the Lenoir-Rhyne alumni magazine. I was pursuing a biology BS at L-R at the same time, so Terry and I spent a lot of time together around the science building. He never seemed to be having a bad day.

Terry's wit and sarcasm could only be matched by his infectious laughter. Though he deserved more time on this Earth, he influenced and enlightened so many people that his message will carry on. He and Patsy have been great friends to my parents for decades. Terry will be remembered for what he was; a complete friend.

I am so sad to see Terry´s passing. He was the director of my Radiologic Technology class from 1985-1987. He was so awesome. I have never forgotten him and thought about him throughout the years. He will be missed.
