Carolyn & family- Terry was one of the first people I met when I started in real estate 26+ years ago at Century 21. He was full of knowledge and so patient and kind with a newbie in the business and have never forgotten how he mentored me. He may have missed his calling as he would have been an excellent teacher/professor and Terry was just an all-around, nice guy. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing and will have fond memories of him always. Ruth RaboldTwo Harbors, MN 12/18/2012 3:07 PM
