As a native San Franciscan, he loved being a Teamster Union member of Local 85 for 46 years; SF Old Timers Baseball Assoc.; N.C.V. Boxers Assoc. and Mazzetti's Pacifica Bakery 5 AM'er's Coffee Crew. Terry was often seen traveling about San Francisco and the Peninsula visiting familiar faces and places. His smiling face and quick wit will be greatly missed.

I just want to say that you can go through life and not know what a friend you realey have till they are not with us any more. I knew Terry since 1969, we went through a lot with the teamsters. .Terry was so fun to be with. You never knew what he was up to. ...he was so funny at times that you thought you should not be. But, then again that was Terry. Yes, I think of Terry a lot. He is a friend that I will never forget. Geri, Linda, Terry and I had a lot of good times together. (A MEN)
