I met Terry, Kathy, and Laura while shooting Laura's wedding and have been working with Terry as my tax consultant ever since. I never felt closer to a family that I had done work for than the Sherman's and it was always good times on those occasions when I would be blessed to be around them. Terry was always a fun guy to be around and always upbeat. I pray for Kathy and the family that they may find God's peace and send my deepest sympathy and warmest love to all.

Dear Kathy, Scott, Krista, Hannah, and the rest of the family, I am so sorry for this loss. Terry was the definition of an inviting and warm presence. He welcomed Katie and I right into the family and we were so thankful for that. His charming wit and ability to bring laughter into a room was always present, and his love for life was so clear. Sending my thoughts and love. I will keep thinking of you all.

I have known Terry since my first MIZZOU - SIG EP football party as a rushee in 1967. He was my chaperone. I only knew one guy in the house (Urani). That party and Terry as my pledge Father changed my life. I will never forget his humor and positive attitude, even after the loss of his beloved daughter, Laura. No doubt she was first there to great him “DADDY!”

Dearest Kathy and family; to say I was in disbelief at the news of Terry’s passing is an understatement Terry was such a kind gentle man and a man of few words; however, it was hard to get a word in when Kathy and I got together. We monopolized the conversation, to say the least. Although, I didn’t see Terry as much as I should, I always knew he was a phone call away. Friends like Terry are hard to come by and he will be dearly missed Terry has joined his beautiful Laura and there is comfort in knowing their heavenly reunion father/daughter relationship is once again All my love and sympathy to the Sherman Family, Charlene Thrasher

I met Terry only a few years ago. He was my tax accountant for my company. This man was a walking calculator! I've never met a person with his keen ability with numbers. Now I understand why he closed up shop so abruptly. Fly high Terry you are missed.

Kathy and family, I was so sorry to hear about Terry. I worked with Terry for more than 30 years at Mallinckrodt. We had kept in touch since we both retired, by meeting once a month with a group of former Mallinckrodt guys. We got together for food and drink, talking old times, sports, taxes and whatever subject came up. Terry was always a lot of fun and he will be missed by so many people. He was a class act all the way. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Kathy & Family,
We are so sorry to learn of Terry´s passing. We have many fond memories of gathering with your family over the years, including the annual Horseshoe tournament. Terry and I were partnered one year, made it to the finals, and nearly won it! Also remember how our kids loved hanging with Laura, Nicki, David and the Buss girls when they were kids.
We will always remember Terry´s outgoing manner. You are in our thoughts during your time of sadness.

Dear Kathy, Scott, Krista, Hannah, and the rest of the family,
What I will always remember about Terry is the way he quickly embraced me as a new member of the family (now many years ago!). As several others have said, he had such a quick wit, always made sure to talk to everyone he was around (he knew how to work a room), and really loved life. I am so very sorry for this loss of such a special husband, father, and friend. I'm sending prayers and love your way.

Being from Roosevelt HS and Rush Chairman at Sigma Phi Epsilon when Terry joined at MU I have many great memories. His famous drive back to Columbia from Kingdom City after a party with Gary Kuda Leindecker will go down in driving history. The decade of the 60s’ was awesome. He will be missed. My deepest condolences.
