I served with Terry in vietnam and he could really make you laugh. We were walking across this rice paddy and he was singing “ working on the chain gang”. It took me this long to find him and I was sad to hear that he had passed away.

Terry Wellborn was so smart and full of humor. Some of our Jesup girls loved to visit Hinesville to hang out with him and laugh ourselves silly. He was a good friend to so many people.I am so sorry to hear this news. Will hold the memories of him in my heart.
