I am so glad God put Terry & Barb in my family´s life. Terry was always working, devoting his life to service with the military, his family and our church. He was cocky, funny and I loved verbally sparring with him. When he and Barb moved to Florida they left a big hole in our church and in my family´s life. I hope to see you in heaven one day soon, Terry. You are still a part of our conversations and you are missed.

Barbara, I wish to extend my deepest condolences to you and express my sincere sympathy for the loss of Terry. He was not just a former Commander to me, but someone who treated me like a son.

I am at a loss of words to adequately convey the impact your husband had on my life in the military. From the moment we first met, he showed me how to be successful in my career. He was hard on me and excepted nothing but the best from me. He was a pillar of strength, compassion, and guidance, always there to lend a listening ear or offer meaningful advice. I will be forever grateful for his influence during my military career. May you find peace, healing, and comfort in the days to come.

In Christ,
Cameron

First met Terry in the early 1980s as the incoming Commander of a combined (U.S. and Australia) and joint (Air Force, Army, Navy) squadron in the outback of Australia providing satellite detected missile warning to the U.S. and it´s allies. While I was only there several months of his command, he proved to be the best of many many commanders and leaders I served under in the Air Force and later was happy to call him my neighbor in his many years living in Colorado Springs. A great man, leader, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Loved his intellect but his sense of humor even more. Rest in Peace Terry from a life lived as well as anyone could hope for
