I was shocked when I heard of Terry's passing. I took guitar lessons from him years ago. He talked me into buying a Fender Stratocaster and it was the best purchase. I haven't seen Terry in a long time but was thinking about him as I started picking up the guitar again. My deepest sympathy.

My heart goes out to Sammy and Terry's family. Terry had such a great sense of humor and was such a joy to be around. He carried that magic with him everywhere he went.
I wish him true peace.

This is unbelievable to me. Terry was among the most full-of-life people I've had the honor of knowing. While we were both at Riemans, Terry assisted me on numerous audio installations. His lovably-warped sense of humor and friendship helped me greatly during one of the toughest times of my own life. I loved him dearly and already miss him more than I can say. I wish for strength and healing to Trudy, Samantha, and Terry's children and family.
