I did not have the pleasure of knowing Terry, but I did (and do) have the pleasure of knowing his lovely wife, Patricia Bukowski May. That woman would only marry the finest man, in every sense of the word. My heartfelt sympathies go out to those who knew and loved him.

Terry brought humor and compassion in his role as a volunteer and always brightened my day. He always adjusted my office chair to the "proper height", week after week. My condolences to the family - a bright star shines in heaven now.
