I am thinking of you Jan and the Caffery family at this time. I always enjoyed our chats when we would see you two on Parklea so many years ago. I know the Creighton’s and the Caffery’s go way back to when Terry was a teen. All the best to you! 💕

The last time I had a chance to chat with Terry was that the LHS golf tournaments some years ago. He told me that he loved walking across the street to my grandfathers . Bill SAUL home , to practice chipping either in the front or the backyard. Rest in peace Terry.

Diane & I are so saddened by Terry’s unexpected death. I know we have reached out before in this regard but seeing the terrific video has brought back my extreme sadness. Terry was “magical” to watch and a terrific teammate to play with.
Our sincere condolences go out to you & the family

It is hard to believe that over a month has gone by since Terry passed. Terry was a best friend and a part of my life since we were just little boys. I am going to miss this great guy very much and will carry special memories of him for the rest of my life. I hope he and my Brother, Jack, are playing golf together right now! Or reminiscing on the 19th hole!
Mary Lou and I both send our thoughts and prayers to you Jan and we are here for you anytime you need us.
