“Our prayers are with you and your family. May God be with you.”
“My sincere condolences to the Webster family. I had the good fortune of working along-side Terry over the past several years and feel very privileged for that opportunity; Terry had a real passion for his work and was quite exceptional. He was a great man whose sense of humor, quick wit, and laughter were contagious and made work a much brighter place. God speed my friend, you are dearly missed.”
“Webster Family, so very sorry for your loss to your family. I have worked with Terry only briefly over the past years, but found him to be a man of great integrity and optimism in any situation.

There are just no words that can begin to express how saddened we were with the passing of such a good person and dear friend. I will miss my friend. Terry and I shared a love of golf. I guess you could say we were golf soul mates, anticipating each other’s next move or strategy to beat the other. We had a friendly ongoing bet of who could win the front nine, the back nine and overall game. We kept swapping that dollar back and forth. I was blessed to share the camaraderie and the love of a game with a individual like him. There were many a good conversations that took place during 18 holes of golf. I will say that Terry loved his family and he was very proud of each one of you, especially his children. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. It is our hope that the memories will comfort you during this sad time and to know that you were loved.”

“There is an unbreakable bond that exists amongst those who serve their country. Not only with those who serve during combat operations but, also amongst those who serve in austere environments. I have had the privilege and pleasure of serving with Terry, Debra, Brittnee, Mitchell and Meghan in Iceland. They opened their home to those of us who were there on unaccompanied tours. They always made me feel welcome especially during the holidays when we would naturally be missing our own families. Terry and Debra would always make me feel at home as a member of their warm and loving family. For that, I will be eternally grateful. I have so many fantastic memories of the Webster’s, Gonzo and Jackie,BB Mike Graesle, Charlie Brown, Jeff Leonard, Phil “Burner” Dunn, Russ Bartlett and the rest of the COMFAIRKEF gang. A man’s true worth is not measured by his time here on earth but, by the legacy that he leaves behind. Terry you will live on for generations through those that you have led, taught, mentored and befriended. I am a better Husband, Father and person thanks to you. I can only say that God has truly blessed me with your friendship. I am proud as I can be to be able to refer to you as Shipmate! May your Fairways always be straight and your Greens true. Make sure that you have a tee-time set up for me and BB when we get there. We’re gonna miss ya Brother!”

“Megan and family, We are so sorry to hear about your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Know we are here if you need anything.”
“There are no words to express how truly sadden we are for your family. Mr. Webster was a great man and a great father. I remember one of the first times I met Mr. Webster was coming over to his house in Iceland with Stephanie Butler to have a sleep over with you (Brittnee). He greeted us, made some corny joke then just shook his head because he knew his house was being infiltrated with girls which meant for a long, loud night. Brittnee, I know how much you love your family. How much you so loved your Dad. He will always be with you & the family. I apologize for not being able to make it on Sunday but please know that we will all be thinking about you & the family. Much love, Sarah & The Huizingas.”
“Thoughts and prayers to the family in your time of sorrow.”
“Words can’t describe the disbelief at the news of Terry’s passing. Terry was one of the most grounded and down to earth people I have ever had the privilege of serving with and being able to call a friend.

You are all in my family’s thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Fair winds and following seas.”

“To the Webster Family, Words fall short and nothing we write can ease the loss that you must feel at this time. Terry was truly one of a kind as a husband, father and friend to those he’s left behind to carry on without him. All are hearts are heavy not only for his passing but also for your pain. I cannot tell you how many times Terry and others came to help Jerree and I around the house and yard while I was recovering, for this I will always be in his debt that sadly I cannot repay. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. Psalm 71:20-21 20 You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth. 21 You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again. “
“Debbie,Brittnee,Mitch,and Meghan–We were so sorry to hear of Terrys passing, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Doug and Gayl Weisz”
“Please accept our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers in your time of loss. Know that your husband, father and our friend was truly one of a kind! His dry wit and genuine concern for others were outward indicators of his love for you. May God bless you and comfort you now and in the coming days.”
