To the family. I met Terry driving the loop with a girl friend of mine in high school. He was standing on 7th St. under the walk over of the old Golden Rule Bldg. We pulled over to talk to the guys (Terry being the hottest looking man I had ever seen). Terry always joking and being a down to earth kind thought it would be funny to play keep away with my keys, and happened to throw them up to high. Well, their they were stuck on the walk over. Terry had his pick up and we drove to his house to get a ladder. That's where I met Greg & Cindy. Well we got back downtown and Terry went up the ladder and retrieved my keys. While on the ladder the police came by and questioned him. They didn't give anyone a ticket but I know they left and had a good laugh. He was such a great guy. He was a heart throb whenever we were down at the loop. Much bigger a man than people knew. He had it all, good looks, heart & soul laughter and I knew he was a great friend to his buddy that was with. Never got to be his friend, but always wished we had. Felt like it whenever we stop & talk. He's still 18 in my eyes and driving the loop looking handsome & laughing. Greg & Janelle I am sorry for your great loss.

Terry was always such a nice guy to be around. Always had time to chat with you. Always willing to lend a helping hand to everyone. My deepest condolences to his family.

Terry was a real "good guy". He wasn't ever self centered or arrogant. Terry was the kind of person that had obvious human value, due to the way everyone that knew him, felt about him. Terry was the kind of person I feel myself drawn to for a somewhat intangible but good spirited reason. Thanks Terry for the brief but good times that we all knew you.

Oops i guess that mite have been Marks Red Olds instead of Terrys Ford. Its a age thing. Also the fine memory Of Terry at Council Labs and the Suppository eating dare and money raised for him to do it. He stayed a couple of hours after but went home. Don't know if he was sick but Bob gave him the rest of the day off for the entertainment if nothing else.

My fondest memory of Terry was sharing good conversation during lunch back at the Ramsey facility. Terry and Millie the cleaning person and I would visit every day in the lunch room at lunchtime. Terry was a great guy who never said a bad word about anybody. He was everybody's friend and he will be missed by many!!!

Gregg Cindy Janelle and Family. So Very Sorry.Mark I remember that fireworks display down on 7th Street I thought of it often. I remember he was alittle mad because his new or newer seat covers had a few holes burnt in the foam. And that when we rolled up the windows to try to keep some of the smoke from being noticed so much it was hard on the eyes with fire crackers gunpowder & sulphur smell inside. Also riding around Lake Phalen and having one of his Box Car springs from the rearend fly out on a bumpy corner on the east side point.Then pulling over run back to get it and jack the car up to put it back in.Hope to see all of you guys there Sat.Cliff&Ev.

One of my fondest memories with Terry was doing the loop downtown on weekends or when ever we wantedvto with John Munkholm and myself the three musketeers. One night about 1971 Terry, John and I were riding around, around the 4th of July downtown in my red Oldsmobile.In the backseat was Terry with smoke bombs and fireworks in a little plastic bucket, every once in a while we would throw a smoke bomb out the window or a firecracker just having a good time. The way I remember it was, we were sitting at a corner and Terry was about ready to throw a smoke bomb out the window and somebody yelled cops, well instead of throwing the smoke bomb out the window Terry threw it in the bucket that was inside the car, well you can guess what happen next the whole bucket started going off smoke bombs fireworks whatever else was in there, we had to evacuate the car, in the meantime the cops were over there just laughing at us, the way I remember it I don't think the cops even came over to talk to us, they knew that we were plenty embarrassed the way it was. Poor Terry caught a lot of crap for that for a long time after but it was a great day and a memory I'll never forget miss you Spoof.
