Ginger, my condolences to you and your family. I recall at our last class reunion how he was still the same "happy" guy I knew at Valley High. I know he has left you all with many wonderful memories. That's a gift any family would want.

I won a writing prize and Terry was second when we were in 6th grade or Jr. High, so I've known him a long time! I remember his sense of humor and ambition. I'm sorry for your loss and am sure you also have many good memories.
