    I was a classmate of Terry’s at Defiance High School. We went to the same elementary school (Slocum). You knew early that Terry would be a star in basketball and tennis. Terry was a pillar of our class and will be missed. Even though we tend to grow apart through life’s journey, Terry will always be part of the Class of ’67 family. dick

    I would like to express my deepest condolences to your family. I hope you find comfort from God’s word the bible during this time of grief. For he is near to those broken at heart. Ps 34:17,18 Also, note Jesus’ words of comfort spoken to Martha, who had just lost her brother, at John 11:23-25, “Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise. Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.”
