I can't believe that I just found this tribute page to Terry. It is 2020. I am 69. Words cannot express the love and respect that I have for Terry, He was my "Mentor in Life". He was such a loss to Eureka College and to all of us that were incredibly honored and blessed to be his students.

Hello Tommy,unfortunately we haven't spoken to one another for quite a while. This makes it even sadder to write under the present circumstances.It made me very sad to hear of your dad's death. When I heard of his severe illness I thought, "he'll get over it-everything will be OK".We think this because we simply don't want someone whom we love to die, especially when this person is the only remaining parent.When my dad had to fly very quickly to the States because Terry's situation had deteriorated, I had hoped that he would be by you and Terry in time, but this was no longer possible. I don't know whether this is good or bad, but I have the hope that it was somehow meant tobe so.Hope is that which allows us to keep on going in many situations. Our hope gives us strength and courage. I am sure that your father has now found peace and wish you and your family strength for the next days and weeks, as well as the courage to confront your loss and to remember the many wonderful hours that you were allowed to share with one another.Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy and know my thoughts will be with you and your family in this time of mourning.With my best regards,Eric
I was a student of Terry's at Eureka, and played "Old Skips" in his production of "Lady's Not for Burning". I owe a lot to Terry in broadening my horizons. I appreciate so much more in life thanks to him. He will be sorely missed.Dave Smith
