I was so saddened to read the paper and learn of the death of Terry. My deepest sympathies go to all of the family. Sincerely, Pat
I was saddened to read of Terry’s passing. I knew Terry in elementary school at Ponce de Leon elementary and am pretty sure he was in our class at Largo high school class of 1965. I remember Terry as being a very handsome young man, polite and always a good student. I also remember him playing with his brother. I am thankful for his Service to our country and extend my sympathy to all of his family.
Although I have only meet Terry a few times and had several conversations over the phone with him this past year, I am saddened by his passing. The thing that was very clear to me was that this man was a stand up guy and his family always was priority. I am sure his family is grieving but must be very proud to have called him their husband, son, father, brother and uncle.
Terry- I pray that you are n the loving arms ofThe Lord. You and I used to run on the field at Ponce De Leon elementary. You were a stand-up friend and classmate. I knew you would b n line for great things n ur life. Thank you for serving n the Corps’ and for ur country. I salute you my friend. Semper Fi….Bill Grissinger
