I met Terry in the 3rd grade. He was a special boyfriend by 5th grade and his dad drove us to my very first date at the movie theatre downtown Crystal Lake. We lost touch somewhat during high school although years later he told me he never lost sight of me and knew about other boys that were in my life. We hooked up again by chance in 2000 and became fast and furious catch up friends on internet and long distance. I visited him twice in Phoenix. He was so intelligent and had a memory that was astounding. He brought back so many fun times growing up and retold so much of what his life was like after high school. I will miss his voice on the phone and all of his ever useful advice. He left us far too soon and I only wished I had known just how long he had so I could have made one more trip there to visit. He promised me he was really not that sick...Miss you. RIP TNS.
Realizing you are gone is such a painful thought. I will always cherish the happy times we spent as we grew up in Crystal Lake. I was fortunate to have you in my life. Thank you my friend . Goodbye for now.

I remember Terry as always being happy and upbeat. The world is a bit sadder without him.
