Please accept our deepest sympathy. Terry worked for me at Kelly AFB and was an outstanding Logistics Management Specialist. He always pushed to get projects done quickly and efficiently for the USAF. Terry always got the job done! He was a pleasure to be around and was well liked by everyone. My wife, also a supervisor at Kelly AFB, knew Terry and how outstanding he was. We are both very proud to have worked with and to have known Terry. God bless you in this time of sorrow, but Christians can take heart in knowing that we will see Terry again in heaven.

Sincere, warm condolences to Terry's loving wife, Martha Ann and family as well as all relatives and friends. Peace and comfort for all at this sorrowful time. Thank you Terry for Griffin's rock! (While I didn't know Terry personally, I got to know of him & Marty since they are friends of my sister and brother in law, Mike & Donna Purdy. Terry once told Donna to tell me to get a rock and put it in the water container to keep it from getting knocked over by the turtle I found which I named Griffin) Again, may you all find comfort during this difficult time. Rest In Peace Terry!

I am very saddened by Terry's passing. We meet at the gun show, where else, and have been set up by he and Mike for many years at the show. He loved that summer sausage with jalapenos!
