We at the Western PA Civil War Roundtable were saddened to learn of Terry’s passing. Terry was a longtime member of our group. Always smiling and pleasant, Terry will be missed by the folks at the roundtable.

I worked with Terry at Ceramic Color & Chemical in New Brighton years ago. We become friends and used to fish together. Such a good guy. Haven’t been in touch in a couple of years and was sad to see he had passed. Lots of good memories of you Terry. RIP.
