Terry may be in the ground, but he’s in your heart. Keep him top of mind every day. He knew. He understood you.

Such a tremendous tribute to a man that was a giant in your life - what a body-blow to have lost him so young. I'm so sorry for your loss, Adam. But you are absolutely right, we need to be more personally vulnerable and get up the guts to tell folks in our lives what they really mean to us while they are still around to hear it. This is for us and for them (although it is very likely that Terry already knew how much he meant to you).

So sorry for your loss. I would bet you would rather have this than never known him. May he RIP

You did him good. In Terry's words, "No fucking bullshit."

My deepest condolences for your loss and the loss of someone who lived large in your life. What an amazing person to have as a trusted friend! I know it’s trite to say but how incredibly fortunate you were to be influenced by such a person as Terry.
