This one truly hurt. In many ways our lives were parallel.

We grew up in West Miami, played all the sports at the "Rec". etc.

After high school our paths parted and I didn't see him again until I was taking the physical agilities test to get onto the fire department about fifteen years later.

He was all smiles and I'll never forget him telling me I was going to love being a firefighter. He was right.

Once I got on I quickly learned that Terry was an icon on the department. His reputation for compassion, skills, knowledge, and an all around great guy to work with was legendary.

And now he's gone. We'll always miss him.
