I graduated with Terry. I was so happy to see him and meet his wife at our 45th class reunion. Gone too soon. I'm so sorry for all that are left behind. RIP until we meet again.

It was just a couple years ago that a lot of us got to see Terry at one of our reunions at Quintana and meet Sue. He was still the funny, skinny as a rail guy we all knew growing up in Lake Jackson. RIP Terry.

Grew up around the corner on Magnolia from Terry. The first thing I remember of Terry was his sense of humor, smiled all the time and could be called a jokester. Last time I said hello to him was at our forty-fifth class reunion......always smiling. To his family...my heart aches for your loss. Sending healing prayers to each of you......xoxo

Sue, Carol and I are saddened by your loss of Terry. I always considered Terry good friend and enjoyed the times we hunted and fished together in earlier years. Terry was very proud of his family and that is where his heart was. I came home from Vietnam right before Terry went and he served his country with distinction. I was very proud of the man he became. I also remember the the house raising and fun we had.

To Sue & family. My heart goes out to all. Terry was RB's shadow before he joined the army. There was always an extra plate for him because as soon as RB got home from work Terry was not far behind. When he went to Veitnam we were worried sick. Was at the airport when he came home. Loved the barn raising weekend in Sweeny. Many great memories & loved him like a son.

Thank you to Terry for his service to our country. Prayers to his Mother and family. Enjoyed talking to Terry and meeting his wife at the Class of '68 Reunion. He sensed when folks were feeling uneasy and came in to rescue and make me, the misfit that I still feel I am, feel more comfortable. You were a joy. RIP
