You will remain in my heart forever...as children and cousins we had such a wonderful time. I was always sorry we were so far apart. Just knowing you're not here makes me really sad but I'm greatful you're no longer in pain. God Speed!

When I worked with Terry on patrol here in St. Johns County, he'd always have a story to tell that would make you laugh. He was definitely a gifted storyteller who knew when to embellish something just enough to make a good story a great one. May those who mourn and grieve his passing be comforted in the knowledge that God loved Terry more than we can ever imagine. Rest in peace, my friend.

During this time of reflection I know from my heart Terry was a wonderful husband, father and provider. I spent many good years with him to know that he loved being in Law Enforcement. He had a fun since of humor. I will always charish our time together and everything that we experienced was a journey not to be forgotten. May your soul be a peace Terry.

We had the pleasure of spending everyday with Terry in our store. He loved to hang out with us and share stories with us and the customers. Terry became more than a friend, he became part of our family. We miss his daily presence and the love and friendship that we shared. He will remain forever in our heart.
