Barbara, I have thought of you and Terry over the past year since running into you in Morehead City, and was saddened to learn of his passing in January. Joe and I still talk about what fun we had at your wedding, especially with those little cards which were passed out by your dad. We wish you comfort in your memories of the life that you and Terry had together.

It was a pleasure to work with Terry in football the last couple of seasons. He will be missed for his leadership and great passion for the game. He gave it so much. Take heart in that he touched so many. Psalm 40.

Barbara,

My prayers as well of those of the Havelock site of the East Carolina Football Officials Association are with you. Tery was a great referee and was an inspiration to many of us in the Havelock/New Bern area to include myself and my son Warren III. May you be comforted with the fact that Terry is in Gods eternal loving care.
