Terry, A great individual!We worked together for years at Stockton Savings, many trips together, late nights keeping those ATM's up and running and soooo many hours of testing, but I would have not chose any other person to do it with...your a good nurse maid too when I was sick in Florida..Thanks for so many good memories. Even after our years together at the bank, we always made that connection to stay in touch. You have been there through so many of my life events I was so saddened to hear you are gone. I will truly miss you and eating Chinese food together. May your family have comfort in the Lord and know you are well taken care of in his hands.

Hey Terry, Dude,
I will miss all the great stories you would tell me regarding your weekend getaways.I always admired your ability to find time to "live life" during your hectic work schedule. You were a master at IT problem solving. Your genuine smile and sense of humor will be what I miss the most.
I bet your making quite a stir, up in heaven.
To Stephanie, Kiley, Robert and David:
"May God's hand rest gently upon your shoulder to help guide you through these difficult times."
a friend alway's

My deepest sympathies to Terry's family and friends.
Although I only met Terry 4 years ago, he made a lasting impression on me with his dry sense of humor - his full support for always giving the client a first class product - and his making my frequent and long drives to Northern California, always a worthwhile experience.
Terry reminded me a lot of my own son whom I lost seven years ago. I will always cherish my time spent with Terry on our many projects.

Hey Dudette,
What can I say? You will be missed by many, me included. The time from Stockton Savings to now has been a pleasant friendship. The Hunter building will not be the same without you.

Terry,
I knew you for 14 years. From Stockton Savings to Guaranty Bank, we have seen a lot of changes. You were always there when you were needed and you often went above and beyond to get the job done. You have a wonderful legacy in your daughter, Stephanie and grandchild, Kiley. Hope they can find their inner strength and know that you loved them always. Until we meet again,

Dude- you were my first friend in CA, helped me tons with both solicited advice and sarcastic comments that weren't always wanted, or desired- but none the less filed away, and often became useful.
For almost 10 years you tried to tell me you were everything I needed sadly, stubborn was a trait we both shared. I took for granted during each bout of silence as we lived our own lives that you would always be there... I was so looking forward to living out all our years of talk, but I guess God needed a good tech. I miss you more then words can say... Steph, Robert and David, I am so sorry for your loss- Terry was, well Terry- not always easy to love, but loved so much by many.

All the recollection of memories around here these past few days means you are truly missed, dude. When your looking down at all of us here, (with your coffee mug at hand)...and our computers go down I'll think of you pulling the plug every now and then, and you getting a kick out of it. Goodbye my friend...

I never had the privilege of meeting Terry in person, but we did converse on the phones more than a little working together from a couple thousand miles apart. He was an awesome fun guy on the phone, and all who knew him are short one great cool guy. You will be missed here in Austin, Terry!

Terry,
You were my co-worker - I'll miss the "know-it-all" attitude. You were my friend - I'll miss the insults and kidding around. You were almost my neighbor in Valley Springs - I think you've now found an even better place to live!
God bless you, Terry.

Dude, I miss you already, your impertinent questions; your ability to imply a double entendre on most everything. Just your presence. You may not have been religious, so I will be on your behalf and I hope you're in the good place.
