I wish I could be there today for the services and go to Fast Freddies. That's where he, his cousin and I would always meet for lunch when I was in town. They all knew Terry there, what a character. We'd head up to Volo Auto Museum and he'd just hammer on the young girl that sold admission tickets to let us in for free. He knew the owners from years of visiting Volo and she'd always cave in and say "go on in". If I tried to pull money out, he'd say "no way are we paying to get in this place". Glad I got to see him on Saturday, afterward I drove to Volo Auto Museum and paid admission for the first time, it was a sad walk around the place.

My sincere condolensces go out to Terry's family during this difficult time.
I first was introduced to him several years ago by Jan S when she and Bill brought Red Alert to Vettefest. We immediately engaged in a conversation that lasted at least half an hour. Having grown up in the Chicago area and involved with cars since the late '70s, I'm not sure how we hadn't met before that day.
Whenever I saw him after that, BG, NCRS meets, the Mecum auctions, he ALWAYS greeted me with a good word, a pat on the back, and a smile. The only exception was the last Vettefest when he told me of his condition. I knew it was serious, but hoped that it wasn't going to be our last meeting.
R.I.P Terry, you left us way too soon.

Terry was a very special and unique person and a real car enthusiast. We will all miss him.
