Hey Boo, I will miss our talks. I have enjoyed greatly over the years talking with you about our world and through your insights the clarity you helped me to get. You were by far the most thoughtful person I have known. I am proud to have known you and even more proud to have called you family. What a gift you have been. I know you left your mark, a wonderful mark, on many people, not the least of which are your loving family.
My heart goes out to Cheryl, the boys , Rosie , Deborah, Jonni and the rest of the family. I know you will be missed, but I know you will be remembered. That’s the thing. You definitely will be remembered.
Love you buddy.
Love to you Cheryl and the family.

You will be greatly missed my friend! May you rest in peace, and may God comfort your family.
My sincere condolences.
Praying for you! So very sorry.
Terry was a very good person. As people move out of your life, there are those that made a mark on you, like Terry. There are a few people that pass through your life and that you think about every now and then. Terry was one of them. Terry had a great sense of humor. The lesson is to always pick up the phone as you think of these few great people.
Marc’s and my condolences to Terry’s family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
