Deepest sympathies to Pat and family. Terry and I were best buddies back in the day of Area Projects and all those evenings at RIT. I will miss him, but will cherish the remembrance of all those crazy days.
Hugs to you Pat and your family. I know this is not an easy time but my prayers are with you all.
Heart and thoughts are with you,Amy, and all of your family.
Pat, Amy and Kim, you al have our family’s deepest sympathy. Aside from being a wonderful person, husband and father, the thing I will always remember about Terry was his inability to to name Kim. Poor baby came home with no name. Pat and I would sit on our outside stoops and yell names across the the street. None made Terry happy. I don’t recall who came up with Kim but if I were to bet it would have been Terry. Find neighborhood memories. God Bless all of you
Dear Pat and family,
Terry was a dear and loyal friend who will be deeply missed by all.
