bluskidave 0 #7 February 12, 2012 I had the privalige to work with and learn from Terry in his last days of skydiving. the knowledge he imparted on me could never be put in print or video. The man was cat quick on a out of control student. His way with words priceless!! RIP Terry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakyrat 1 #8 February 13, 2012 RIP Terry The thing I remember about Terry the most besides his energy and bios instructional skills was his occasional complaint about his cross braced canopy opening hard and it killing his back occasionally. I guess we all have been there with a canopy opening one time or another. Anyway Blue Skies Terry It was a pleasure knowing you during my time at Skydive Houston.

johnwolzak 0 #11 February 24, 2012 Jumped with Terry in Independence Mo. back in the late 90's. It was fun watching him with an out of control student, he made it look so easy. Haven't talked to you in a few years Terry but I'm gonna miss you. Blue ones brother Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
askir 0 #12 March 4, 2012 When I first got my rigger's certificate Terry handed me his rig and said "lets see how good you are" Two days later he became my first save...I charged him 2 bucks for scaring the crap out of me.

djmarvin 2 #13 March 5, 2012 Blue Skies Terry, I enjoyed our time together at Spaceland. It was an honor knowing you and jumping with you. One of my most memorable jumps is an AFF with you on the other side. Fly Free brother!

airtwardo 6 #14 March 5, 2012 Hi DJ~ The first time I met Terry at Spaceland I was waiting @ the loading area to go do a solo, he came over and asked if I wanted to join a formation and how many jumps I had. I told how many, and he said, "In that case, ya mind if WE join YOU" Great talent and even greater personality...he will be missed! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raff 4 #18 March 13, 2012 I believe Terry would have paid to teach AFF. Blue Sky raffIf you leave the plane without a parachute, you will be fine for the rest of your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traumgeliebter 0 #19 March 27, 2012 The last jump I made with Terry was a rodeo at San Marcos. He loved jumping barefoot and tucked his flip-flops into his sweatshirt. They were gone when we landed. I saw him about a year later in Oklahoma and he was nearly blind from Diabetes. I was surprised. When I asked him if he could see when we jumped together. He said "Not really, that's why we did a rodeo!" :) You will fly on in the hearts and minds all who knew you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cereale 0 #24 April 16, 2012 Quote Damn! We enjoyed Terry during his time with Skydive Houston. Photo by Jerry Korshak. I agree, John! Met Terry at Skydive Houston; I loved that he always had time to share knowledge and enjoyed his friendship immensely. Got the chance to hang out and jump with him over Monterey Bay, CA, which was memorable. Never got enough of his story-telling and his way of chilling out.
