Thanks to all who made the service and sent their condolences. My most humble appreciation to the USNA Alumni and association for the unbelievable support our family received during this difficult time. I apologize for not mentioning by name. As was said by so many, Dr Terry was a selfless man devoted to service, healing, family and faith. Not mentioned in the obit, Terry was preceded in passing by our parents: Walter R ( Ret LtCol USMC WWII), Elizabeth (Betty) M. (nee Haller) and older brother Charles G. Again, thanks to all who attended his celebration of Life whether in person or in spirit.
Respectfully: Brian J Wilson.
