I lost my best friend today.
When Terry and I met 31 years ago, we really didn’t have much in common other than the fact that we were both single and worked at the same place. Yet, we somehow clicked.
Terry always had a plan. I was always Robin to his Batman. I was ok with that because whatever we did typically ended up as an enjoyable experience. Terry had a plan to meet women. Terry had a plan to fix up this car or that car or to fix up this house and sell it. Terry had a plan to get rich. No matter what, he was always fixed on the prize at the end.
Terry found a lot of those prizes along the way having been married to his loving wife, Linda for over 25 years. Their daughter Britney has always been a joy in his life. Terry worked hard and was able to enjoy many of the finer things in life. Terry was funny in that he liked expensive clothes and cars, but acted like a normal Joe. I always got a kick out of seeing the next outrageous clothes he would wear.
But more than anything else, deep down in side, Terry loved those around him. He really was a simple guy, with simple pleasures.
I’m never going to forget my friend. He made our lives better.
