I first competed against Terry in HS on the baseball field. Later, competed with and against him on the golf course. He was one of the most talented golfers I ever competed against! I will always remember his witty personality and humor! Prayers and comfort to his family!

I first met Terry back in 1965 while I attended Bluffton College. Terry was a good friend of KEN MAST, the golf coach at BC. The two of them would love to play against the ONU golf team when they came to Bluffton golf course to practice. TERRY and KEN, both lefties, would clean those kids block every time! Terry was a good guy, lots of good memories I will always have of him in our younger years! Joyce, my sympathies go to you and your family which I knew meant so much to Terry!
