I REALLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO WRITE SO THIS IS WHAT I WROTE, AND TO THE FAMILY I THOUGHT VERY HIGHLY OF TERRY. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU, SORRY.
I just ran across that Terry is now riding the Harley in the sky, I went to school with Terry, I remember the black leather jacket, Black corvette and harley. I was a bike rider also, and we somewhat liked minded. I have tried off and on for years to touch base with him , and now I am really sad that I did not get a chance to say high , since high school. I will always remember Terry as a little “wild” but a kind gentle soul
