Janice, Harry and I were so sorry to hear of Terry's death. We, along with our 4 grandchildren, will certainly miss him. We explained to Madison, our 13 year old grandson, that it was Terry who had brought him all the excitement on Christmas Eve for the past years and it brought tears to his eyes. My children are wondering how they will explain to the younger ones that there will not be that special call at Christmas, but we will all be grateful for those special nights that he took the time to share with them. Hope we get to see you soon and we will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers. Love, Libby

Dear Janice,
Terry and I worked together some years ago at T&T Sports in Charleston. Terry was always one of my favorites, because he was a true gentleman. Always pleasant and courteous, Terry
was the first one to offer help and
and lend a hand whenever one was needed. My husband Guy also knew Terry through the sport of golf. Guy thought so well of him, also. We are so saddened to learn that your dear husband has left us. May you and your family find comfort in knowing that Terry is now rejoicing with his Savior in Heaven. May God bless you and keep you close to His heart in the coming days and weeks.
With Deepest Sympathy, Frances Via

Dear Janice & Family,
I was saddened to read of Terry's passing. It is never easy to lose the ones we love but you lost him much too soon. I knew Coach Ayoub at NCHS and then Terry at GHS. Coach Ayoub was instrumental in bringing the divided student body of Garrett together that first year we merged as students from Chicora and NCHS. Terry was proof of his wonderful family as well. Good people!
My heart goes out to all of you at this time and I will keep you in my prayers. In time the warm memories of Terry will be of much comfort but he will always be missed by those who knew him.

A great friend ! Who has made a difference in so many ways. He is in heaven throwing his favorite lure the Black Zoom worm,iam sure.
And most likely frying his catch and baking his onion.

Janice and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Terry was a great friend to Jimmy and me.
He was a happy, fun loving man and I know that he will be missed. It was very special to me that Terry and Pete came when Jimmy passed away. I pray that you will be comforted by all of the wonderful memories that you shared.

Janice & Family, Pete:
Our deepest condolences on Terry's passing. He was a great friend while I was in the sporting goods business. With him as a customer representative and as a competitor I always felt I was dealing with someone honest and sincere about doing the best for his customers and suppliers. Even in the toughest times Terry was in good spirits that lifted others as well. His recent pains and anxieties are now past and he will rest well in the Hereafter.
