Terry had the softest hands in the World! I held them many times as we sang together or played word games back and forth. He was passionate about the things he loved and expressed joy and hope in every moment. We grew up together and he taught me more about living than most people!

Terry brought so much joy to others. He touched the hearts of so many, putting smiles on faces as he shared his kindness, his laughter, his love of life and his love of music. I have so many memories of him, playing his type of football, 42 43 hut hut, watching his emotions as he heard and sang the Star Spangled Banner, seeing the joy as he sang along to the Chipmunks Christmas album, singing his favorite polka music as he danced, hearing the love and emotions as he sang his favorite gospel songs. One of his favorite television shows was the Golden Girls, he loved the theme song and to him I say Thank You For Being My Friend.
