Tony Ettwein wrote a sympathy message

“I'm so sorry to hear about Terry's passing. He was a great guy. Back at Lake Center Elementary, we played Batman and Robin innumerable times on the playground (he was always Robin, I was Batman), were on a bowling team together at Sunset Lanes, and sat in Terry's basement with Ron listening to Smothers Brothers comedy albums. Each of us could be a handful for our parents back then, but I followed Terry as he grew up and became a shining star. Peace, my friend.”
