I am so sorry for your loss. I met Terry and Kathy through my parents, James and Gloria Mills. They were on the sharing committee with my parents. I got to know them after moving back to the Buffalo area and going to breakfast after church on Sundays. They even attended my wedding in 2018. Terry will be greatly missed but is now at peace with Kathy.

As a parishioner of 14HH, I met Terry thru the sharing committee. In talking, I asked him if me and my family could help with his work at the South Buffalo soup kitchen and he happily agreed. He was a wonderful example of how to show kindness and compassion to the poor and do it with a smile. He will be greatly missed . Rest in peace Terry, your work is done here!!

To the Drilling Family, I got to know Terry from seeing him at mass during the week. When i'd walk into church and saw Terry he'd always have a smile as well as a wave for me. When it was time for the "sign of peace" Terry would again have a smile and wave for me. Before the service started as well as after the service Terry and i would engage each other with a greeting. I could tell just by those brief interactions we'd have that Terry was such a kind,caring soul as well as a wonderful gentleman. Terry would always sit in the same pew and now everytime i walk into church i'll still look over there and see his smiling face. It was truly a pleasure to have known Terry and to him i say "peace to you my friend". Chuck Radel

I have know Terry for nearly 50 years from our time at Wine Merchants and later after retirement for a number of get togethers for breakfast with other former employees. He was a man of honesty, integrity and a tremendous love for his wife and children as well as the grandchildren who helped him during his illness. I will miss his wisdom the spirituality. God Bless and keep you Terry. Rich Hahn
