"More important thanany story idea was the integrity and trustworthiness Terrycommunicated every day. Though known affectionately as 'Bulldog'for his persistence and professional success, those who had thechance to work with him loved him for his personal warmth, sense offair play, and gentleness of spirit. These qualities, along withhis depth of experience, will be dearly missed."
