I had the pleasure of working for Terry for many years. He & Mary together thought me the industry and will miss his knowledge along with his laughter and bantering. I will do my best to help carry on his legend. He was a great man and will be missed greatly. My prayers are with your family during this tough time.

I first met Terry at DJs in 1968 as a customer. He introduced himself as the owner and welcomed me. Little did I know that three years later I would start working for him for the rest of my career. I'll save my stories for private conversations. We had some real barnburner fights over the years. All I can say is that you can't fight like that without becoming close. I'll miss him forever.
