Terry was my supervisor in Delta Mills Beattie Plant in South Carolina. He was a professional manager who made a large impression on my life by showing me how dedication, integrity, and love for your fellow man can make you a better person and employee. He was always genuine in his approach to everyone. I will miss him always.

Terry was a fine musician and friend of mine for many years in the 1980's. We had a trio with Brian Crowe, Terry and myself. I am saddened to learn of his death. And want his family to know I am praying for comfort during this time of grief, but rest assured that Terry no doubt got to play and sing for our Savior first thing after leaving this earthly body. And no doubt he added some humor and enthusiasm to his heavenly choir! Save a place for me in that choir Terry!!

We will forever cherish the memories of growing up together as teens and then young adults back in the day. So many memories of the old band days (A New Day). You were always fun and giving, coming to Asheville to pick us up when our car broke down. I later years, making time to get together for a guitar jam with Jimmy and Richard in the last few years. Your quiet testimony and sharing your faith was precious. Sincere condolences to Susan and all children and grands. Love also to sweet Mildred who was always loving and supportive. We know you went to heaven shouting!!!
Love, Jimmy and Debbie Caldwell
