“You have to catch the rabbit before you can make the stew …”. This was one of many one liners that I learned from Terry. He had a very positive impact on my professional and personal life. He loved, served, and led with passion and conviction. God be with you ’til we meet again …
We are so sorry for your loss. Please know we are here to help however you need.
Terry was a great friend and colleague
A loyal guy. A guy whom you were happy to encounter at any occasion.
Mike and Steve I always loved your dad as did my parents. My father still talks about Terry occassionally. Thoughts and prayers with you both and your family.
Terry taught me a lot as a boss, mentor, and friend. He always had words of wisdom to share when they were needed and he was always a willing teacher. He served our country with pride. Thank you! You will be missed by so many. Hugs to all who feel this loss, especially Steven and Michael.
