Laura,
Carolyn and I are so sad to hear of your Dad’s passing. Terry was a great friend and a great guy. His sense of humor and quick wit made him so fun to be around. He was a joy to work with and spend time socially. He will be missed by many.
I met Terry at Aidan’s Pub in Bristol, RI in 1996 or so. We remained in touch through all the years and all his travels.
The last time I saw him was when we met for lunch at Aidan’s when he had first returned from CA and was living on the Cape.
The last time we spoke was on the telephone while he was living in Idaho.
He was a good man and he will be greatly missed.
My condolences to his entire family.
I have very fond memories of Terry. He and Billy always hanging out. He was kind and funny we always had a great time.. Prayers sent to Laura and her dear family.
I want to extend my sincere condolences to Jon’s family. Jon and I were in the 7th grade together, and we remained good friends throughout our lives. When we were young, we spent many a day together playing baseball, swimming in his pool, and listening to music. Rest in peace, Jon.
So sorry to hear. We met at a.m. waddington elementary school. Always a smile and laugh with Terry. Last saw him at a ephs class of 72 reunion at Dave marchetti’.

My condolences to Laura and family. I worked with Terry for so many years at AlliedSignal. He was such a pleasure to work with and just a sweet, nice person. So many treasured conversations over all those years.
I knew Terry since 7th grade and he only got better as a friend, student, father, and grandfather. As I was an English major, he taught me the meaning of words that were savory and discreet – I dare not mention them but do remember them on occasion. I laugh and am sad, but so very glad we met as friends and schoolmates.
I’m surprised and saddened to hear about Terry’s passing. We worked at Pharmavite in Santa Clarita and Northridge, CA and attended the same church for a while. Always enjoyed his company. Condolences to his family.
I went all through school with Jon and spent many enjoyable years by the pool with with him and his family. We often cruised to the Cape in our teen years of discovery. His passing is a loss to all who lo ed him.
I am saddened to hear the news of his passing. Rest in peace my friend.
I knew Terry from Allied Signal—always a gentleman and pleasure to work with. My condolences to his family.
Laura and family – I’m so sad to read this news. I had the good fortune of first meeting Terry at AlliedSignal. He was smart, kind and funny. Coincidentally Terry also worked with my father at Swank, and my dad always remembered Terry very fondly. I took up running about the same time Terry did, and we ran many road races together! Those were great days! The Rhode Island running community was something special, and Terry was a big part of it at the time. Many years later Terry and I worked together again at PartyLite candles.We chatted almost every day, and it was easy to see that you and your beautiful family were his pride and joy. I’m so happy my path crossed with Terry’s, and his friendship will always be a blessing for me. Be well. Xo
Rest in peace good friend.
So sorry to hear, he will be missed.
My deepest condolences to all of Terry’s friends and family. I worked with Terry at AlliedSignal for many years. He was a wonderful coworker and friend. He will be missed.
I’m so sad to hear this. Terry was one of my first friends at Fram after university. He introduced to corporate life and made the transition easy – with his sense of humor, his down to earth sense, and his zest for life. He will be sorely missed.. Condolences to the family
My deepest condolences to the family. Terry was such a kind, funny man with a beautiful spirit. I enjoyed working with him at Pharmavite and keeping in touch with him on Facebook. I know he will be deeply missed by so man.
Dear Laura, this is shocking and as you said heartbreaking. I considered your dad one of my best friends. He will always be one of the good guys.
Terry and I met in graduate school. I couldn’t have asked for a better study partner. Our friendship grew from those many group assignments and lasted many years. We shared early November birthdays and enjoyed exchanging silly greeting cards.
Will remember him with a smile in my heart. May he fly peacefully with the angels.
It was such a pleasure to get to know your dad this summer watching the boys play baseball.
May he rest in peace and the memories you share bring comfort during this difficult time.
I am so sad to hear of Terry’s passing. He was so kind and funny and had the biggest heart. May he rest in peace.
With deepest sympathy to the family. Terry was a great friend of my husband’s. A very kind and gentle soul. Marilyn Hassell
