Ben, I love the poem, and it says it all. You were a friend in a million, and he treasured your friendship and relied on you.
Elaine,
Sorry to hear of Terry’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
So many good memories riding the bikes and playing music. He was a good friend who I learned a lot from and I am fortunate to have known him during the short time we are on this earth.
Ride free Terry…….
Jim, Terry always enjoyed playing music with you and riding bikes. It seems as if it were just yesterday that we were all playing music together. Thanks for being his friend.
