I worked with Terry at The Day and my husband worked with Terry at Coca Cola. I just saw Terry and hugged him at The Coca Cola holiday party, December 10th and then to learn of his passing shortly after was heartbreaking. He always had a smile. He touched many souls. My condolences to his children and family.

Life will continue to go on , that's what Terry would want. His life, his memories, his legacy will continue. Terry touched a lot of lives, he provided guidance to a lot of young men.

So sorry to learn of Terry's passing. Youth football was blessed to have this man as an integral part of their organization. Although we had our disagreements, there was nothing but love and friendship between Terry and I. I will miss his laugh and his hugs at every game. I wish peace for his family and hope that his sons grow to be as generous as their father was.

My condolences to the family. I have known Terry almost my whole life and he has always been a nice and funny person. I never even recalled seeing him mad or fighting. Until his passing, we were both in the same line of work, so I saw him often during the work day. Again, my condolences and Terry will be greatly missed.
