Sandy - I miss Terry and you and need to be in touch. He loved life , had a fantastic sense of humor, and spread so much of his vitality around him.
You too have done so much as an educator and friend.

Terry was not only my dentist, he was a great personal friend. I remember so many special times, but some of the funniest were at Millard Days. Terry would do a pole dance in the tent, he loved to dance and just enjoy life. We also shared something special that is very difficult for me. We were both diagnosed with cancer within weeks. I am a survivor, but Terry was the fighter. He still had his special sense of humor and was such a caring person. I think of him quite frequently and miss him terribly. God Bless you Terry.

Sandy and family,
I am very sad to hear about Terry, he was truly a wonderful man. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Terry was an incredible person, I have very fond memories of him, Sandy, and mom and dad at various events. It was always pleasant to be around him, he always seemed to make people smile (even when strapped down in the dentist chair). Although he will be greatly missed, please know that he is in good company. I am very sorry I can't make it to Omaha to extend my sympathy but please know that my thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Sandy and Family,
Dear John and Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Terry's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Growing up together as teenagers I remember only fun times. When Terry and John visited NJ for class reunions or whatever, they always visited Aunt Del and me. We had a lot of laughs and reminiced about old times. Terry was always fun and kind...he will be missed.
My love to all of you.
Cousin Diane from NJ

I am so sorry for your loss. The world has lost a great man. I am so glad that Terry was able to see Katie get married. The speech he gave at the wedding was one of the most moving I have ever heard.

I grew up knowing Terry's smile and wonderful personality through our church. Terry was always there with a joke or a smile, and he was present at all of my life mile stones to include the open house my mother had for me prior to my deployment to Iraq. I remember his eyes, that he was worried for me, they held so much love and wisdom.
Terry, you lived an honorable life, full of love and laughter. I can only hope to live to be a fraction of the leader you were.

Mike, Sandy and family,
I want to extend my condolences to you for the loss of your dad and husband. I was fortunate enough to have met everyone in the "Guz" family during college, where I met and became fast friends with Mike as well as his cousin Chris. During that time, and after, I have had many great conversations with both Terry and Sandy and I have always looked up to both of them. The world has lost a great deal with Terry's death. You are all in my thoughts during this most difficult time!

I'm sure that anyone that ever met Terry will have great memories of him. He was just that kind of guy. He was always a great friend. Believe me, I know how much Sandy and the kids will miss him, but we all have to remember how lucky we were to have him as long as we did. He and "dirty" Shirley will be watching over us now.
