Terry was my first boss at DuPont. He was truly a man for others. He lead by example, was never too busy to listen and provide sound advice. He will be missed. He was the best.

Dear Lorna - I'm so sorry to hear about Terry. He was always a fine work colleague and after retirement we had quite a few good golf games and I remember the odd ski day as well. I do recall watching you zip down the hill at Blue Mountain while I was still getting started at the top.
My sympathies to your family. Good luck for the future. Ham

Lorna
My sincere condolences on Terry's passing. I enjoyed my time working with him. Also enjoyed seeing and chatting with you from time to time. I hope to attend the service on Sunday, but if I don't make it I will be thinking of you and your family.
All best wishes, Don
