I first met Terry when I was in high school, some 35 years ago when I got hired as summer help at the Wisconsin Cheeseman. He was a fork lift driver. We've been friends ever since. It's been a long journey for our relationship, but we always knew how to find each other.

For me, no story is greater than a simple act of kindness from TC. When times were good and he had some extra coin in his pocket he and Jesse took a trip to Colorado. When they got back, TC gave me a top of the line John Elway Denver Broncos jersey. Elway was my favorite player at the time. I still have it and was always reminded of TC whenever I put it on, as I will in years to come.

I was always struck by Terry's stories of Monroe, his childhood and his class mates. He truly had a connection there.

TC was a character of the highest order. He could be a grumpy old guy, especially in his last years. But, deep down he was a good soul, who loved Jesse, Gary and his friends.

I pray for his peaceful rest.

The last time I saw Terry was with mom, dad and Bruce. We were visiting aunt Maxine and boy was he a clown. Bruce and Terry talked about old time stunts, Every food item that Aunt Maxine and my dad said "they couldn't eat" was the food he (and Bruce) picked up.
