You have left us too soon. We will miss you, but will always have our memories of you.
Love, Mark, Debbie, Johnny, Michael and Kathy
Robin, Claude and family,
Sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Terry was much loved and will be greatly missed. We all share many memories of him and his great sense of humor, and we feel blessed to have known him. Terry always wanted the best for everyone and helped others where he could. He contributed to many charities and left the world a better place than it would have otherwise been. May all of us be able to say the same one day. God Bless You All.
Claude, Robin and family – My heart hurts for you all. Terry was such a loving, caring person always trying to do the best he could and help those he could.
The little boy smile (and laugh) will forever be with us all as well as all of the wonderful memories.
I wish I could be there to give you a hug.
Please know I’m there in spirit.
Love & Hugs to you all.
Lisa, Crystal & Nichole-
I can remember Terry coming into World Gym to drop Crystal off at work in the daycare and hit the weights while she worked her shift. While physically imposing to a 20-year old kid like myself, the minute he spoke, you could tell he was a gentle giant with a heart of gold. I will miss running into him and that big smile and even bigger bear hug that always followed.

Lisa, Nichole and Crystal, I offer my sincerest condolences. Terry was someone who could see more talent and ability within you than you could see in yourself, and he would bring it out of you. He was always a brain to pick or an ear to listen to when you had a problem. So much of me is made from what I learned from Terry over the years, I will carry it with me always. His memory will be treasured by many.
To my wonderful nephew whose voicemail I still have on my phone. I will always have this to go back to and hear his voice. I still have the tootsie roll you sent me two weeks ago and will cherish it forever.
I watched him, before he even had a license to drive, diving in front of the house. Knowing that is what he wanted to do with his life way back then.
I am so proud of him, and how he managed to become so successful in his life.
He always took time for everyone, and gave of himself to anyone in need.
I have lost a beautiful soul and heaven has gained an angel.
My condolences go out to the family and friends of my amazing nephew. I will miss you and love you forever.
Your Loving Aunt Joanne
Although I did not personally know Terry; I felt I had a connection to his life through my friend Joanne, his loving Aunt. She shared many wonderful memories of Terry.
My condolences go out to his family and friends.

So sorry for your loss
Claude, Robin & family
I was so shocked to read of Terry’s passing. May I offer my sincere condolences & prayers at this most difficult time.
To lose a husband and father long before the rightful time is heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family as they try to navigate life without him by their side physically. Terry was a wonderful, caring man who worked so hard for the things he valued and cherished. His work ethic was an example we all should strive to meet. You will be so very missed Terry. I will miss your stories and that smile when we compared parenting stories. May you rest in peace my friend.
Heartbreaking to learn that such a special soul has left us. Terry was such a special guy who’s friendship was timeless. Years could go by between visits and it always felt like we had just chatted yesterday. My deepest condolences to all his loved ones. It is so hard to lose such a light in this world and someone so dear.
I was just so sad to find out today about Terry’s passing. I am the property manager here at W&P Nautical in Eastport/Annapolis, and worked with Terry through Marine Technologies for many years. I always enjoyed his genial nature and professionalism. He will be missed terribly.
