    Sending heartfelt prayers to all the family… We loved Terry and he will be deeply missed by so many people… He always had a smile and a kind word for friends and strangers, alike. Hope all the happy memories far outweigh the grief after you have had some time to heal.

    My deepest sympathies to all of Terry’s family. I haven’t seen Terry in quite awhile but I still remember after all these years many fun times with him and Robbie when we would visit on vacations. Goodbye to an old friend!
