Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Dear Bonnie, so sorry to hear of the passing of Terry. I was out of country and just got back. Sorry I was not able to be with you at the service. My deepest condolences on the passing of your soulmate. - Posted by: Ingrid Bennett (Friend) on: Jan 18, 2017

  • We were both in the school choir at Robert H Smith, he had a solo role singing in descant, a high soprano for boys. At the Music Festival in the Memorial Auditorium before an audience of over a thousand, he was singing his solo when his voice broke and he was unable to continue. We were all sorry for him, but he was able to deal with it and handle it with grace and humor. A great guy. Sorry for the families loss.
