Terry was a good friend in Wanamassa School, Ocean Township Elementary and early high school. He was funny and athletic. We played baseball, including in the league behind my house; he loved basketball and was a guard wearing #1 on the OT (Dow Ave) 8th grade team (see pic under sports); loved golf, several of us played at Colonial Terrace G.C. with one club in the mornings before school freshman year; we bowled together when Shore Lanes started kids' leagues when we were 10-11, and on the APHS Bowling Team. He was a good dancer. Jane often jitterbugged with Terry at our 7th & 8th grade dances, and especially to "At the Hop". I saw Terry at the 50th. He said he was selling trains. Many fond memories. Thanks Terry.

Terry was an excellent person. We were together in Asbury Park High School and then went together at the University of Tampa in Tampa, Fla.
We were Frat brothers in Sigma Phi Epsilon. He was a fun guy and a great friend. Rest in peace, Terry. I will always remember you.

Terry was an all around good guy. He always had a smile; he always was interested in what you were doing. He always made time to talk; never too busy. Boy he was a good dancer; he and Janet could polka as good as I've ever seen.

I had the pleasure as serving as a career fire fighter in Asbury Park with Terry. He had a great love for the sport of golf. He really showed his skills at the 19th. hole. RIP DOC.
