Terry was a great friend after being a great supervisor during the 1st gulf war. I will never forget our disagreements and understanding as him being a mentor. I will say he was a good person and left us too early. The five us us on Desert Storm working in the Los Angeles area became a small family.
He will be greatly missed. Frick and Frack will live forever. As what they called the two officers because of all their disagreements.

Cousin Terry and Sharon took us sightseeing in Maui, a lovely day reconnecting after many years!
