I'm so very sad to learn of his passing. My heart goes out to his family. I worked with Terry when he was the manager at PFC. He was such an understanding, patient, caring, wise manger and person. He was so strong hearted and helped people. We laughed so much when we worked together. We literally were falling on the floor. He was one of a kind, so genuine, so funny, so caring. I looked forward to meeting up again. It had been sometime. I googled his name and learned of his passing. I will meet up with you Terry in heaven. Being around you made me a better person. I miss you, you buddy, Phill phillipbernotasatgmail.com if anyone once to talk.
