Terry taught me a lot as a boss, mentor, and friend. He always had words of wisdom to share when they were needed and he was always a willing teacher. He served our country with pride. Thank you! You will be missed by so many. Hugs to all who feel this loss, especially Steven and Michael.

“You have to catch the rabbit before you can make the stew …”. This was one of many one liners that I learned from Terry. He had a very positive impact on my professional and personal life. He loved, served, and led with passion and conviction. God be with you ’til we meet again …
