I first met Terry through his parents as they were patients of Dr. Davidson whom I worked for . I always thought he was so mean and was scared of him!
A couple years later I became an EMT. As I come to know Terry he wasn't so scary after all!
He was funny, kind, and very wonderful in the EMS world.
I feel privileged to have been able to work with him on ambulance runs when they were called to our area.
He was a great mentor and he taught me alot things for EMS.
Fly high Terry and I'll see you on my run!
