Terry was a good friend who will be deeply missed. Even though I was I was an Army veteran and Redskin fan Terry and I were best of friends.
I had the pleasure of meeting Terry a little over a year ago and it was evident he was just a good old boy from Texas who would always shoot you straight. He loved to laugh, tell stories and talk about sports.. and of course mostly golf. What I will miss most is playing golf and the stories of his life. The story that will always make me laugh is: he was about three years old and he was hiding behind a couch playing with a book of matches while his mother took a shower, and figured it was a good idea to light a magazine on fire... next thing he knew the drapes caught fire and he ran! When his mother heard him running down the hall yelling “I’m so sorry” she told his older sister “oh god - go see what he'd done” his sister learned the whole wall was on fire and almost burnt down the house (only the bucket brigade saved the home). In short I don’t think he played with matches the remaining 61 years of his life.
Most of all, Terry loved his wife and family. He often talked about the future, spending time with Vicki, kids and grandkids. He always loved spending more time with the grandkids.
I’ll miss you brother, and will never forget you!
