I alway enjoyed Terry at Rossevelt. He was friendly, smart and a good athlete. I was very sorry to see that he had passed away. Too many of our classments have passed. Guess we need to be thankful for every day.

Loss is so very difficult when your heart and mind are full of wonderful memories. I met my dear friend Terry at LC where we became great friends. Terry and his wife, Margie Peacock, and I had a multitude of adventures in Spokane, Seattle, and on the East Coast. I also have fond memories of Terry honoring his Mother's 100th birthday at the Spokane Club. There were many in attendance and the celebration just showed what a big heart Terry had to orchestrate such a beautiful celebration. All through my adult life I would run into Terry at Bloomsday or just running on his lunch hour around downtown Spokane. I could go on further but suffice it to say that I considered him to be a dear friend from high school on til the day he passed away at Hospice House in Spokane. So long my dear friend.

I was shocked to be perusing the In Memorian page & happen upon Terry's name. He was a good friend in HS & our college days also crossed when I would travel from Wazzu to go to the UW for the Apple Cup with Lance. There I stayed with Margie in the Pi Phi house & we'd "doubledate". He was broken hearted with Margie's unexpected death while they were on vacation. To me they were an "It" couple. He had a wicked sense of humor often masked by his somewhat serious demeanor. He was another one of LC's finest.....just an all around great guy!
