First met Terry on the CB Radio back in the day when we all hand "handles" and the airways were "skip" free. We became friends through CBers for Charity and enjoyed long hours QSL. He was a great guy! Our deepest sympathies to his family.

I will miss the long conversations I had with Terry. Everything from computers, military service, trucking, too many topics to list. He had a great chuckle and always made me feel welcome in his home. I'll miss him.

Terry and I were friends together at South High. We both played in the band with Mr. Lee for all three years. He on alto sax and myself on trombone.
So here we are 46 years later...
We had some time at our class reunions.
I am sorry to lose my friend from our
SHS Class of '68.
