    I was heart broken when I heard the news. Terry and I were good friends back to the St Rita days. I remember people always saying we looked liked twins and confusing us. Was kind of a running joke between us but was always funny whenever someone confused us. I remember the first time I heard him play guitar. Probably 6th grade. Played some Van Halen lick and blew me away. We lost touch around college and I regret never getting back up. Terry you will be missed brother. My heartfelt condolences to his Mom and brother, Brian.
