Mike, I´m so sorry to hear of Terry´s passing.
He´s been on the coast so long, he really loved the Salt Life.
Whenever he came to town he would show up to Zucchis with that big ole smile.
He and Lassa and I would start a long evening of old tales and a few new lies. He and Doc went back to high school and had a very special bond. I was proud to become a part of their brotherhood.
Terry hadn´t come around much in a while, can´t blame him, so nice on the coast and he had his own life there.
I know you, doc and I, along with many others will miss his big heart and smile.
Rest in. Peace Brother.
