I had the pleasure to work with Terry on a few infrastructure projects around north-central Idaho when I worked for Clearwater Economic Development Association. He was known to be a very good engineer. On one occasion, we drove to and from a work meeting and then I found out about his passion was his fishing and travel! Terry was a very interesting man. My condolences to his family.
