I know how much Terry loved animals. I'll be making a donation to my local animal shelter in his name.

#402 3 years ago

This is where Terry and I met. A good year before this post. He loved his Aerosmith too.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Just wanted to let everyone know that between my stream last week and the generosity of others, we will have $125 to donate to a local charity in Terry's name! Once I know what we are donating to, I will update the group. thanks so much to everyone that sent donations!!

Can I still donate?

Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

Can I still donate?

You sure can. Terry LOVED charities that went to help youths. So what better than something close to him like the NAACP.
And you got me in the giving spirit so here's mines.

I got Colson coming here in an hour to pick up my Metallica. I will be handing out a couple Fifty dollar bills at a toy store near me in a week or so to random customers in his honor.

#408 3 years ago
Quoted from WeirPinball:

I should have done this a while ago, but thought it might not be too late. I am literally 10-15 minutes from their house so I'll offer to take up a collection for Debbie. If you don't feel comfortable that is fine, but those that want to chip in a dollar, $10, $100 - whatever. I will make sure it all goes to Debbie. My rep should stand for itself here. Been around for 15+ years since the RGP days.
If you wish to help out, just shoot me a pm.

My favorite Pinside post by Terry:

Quoted from Who-Dey:

I still like 99% of the people here even if I disagree with them.

11
#413 3 years ago

That was Terry in a nutshell. Respected everyone no matter how much he disagreed with you. That is super rare these days.

#414 3 years ago

For as much as Terry loved pinball and the pinball community, I thought this song might be appropriate.

#415 3 years ago
Quoted from Metengo:

He was one of them who made me thinking of keeping my AS.
After several weeks of playing AS i am glad to listen to him.
I should mod my AS with a little Tiger.
R.I.P.[quoted image]

So, saying, doing.

There is not enough space behind the bus, so it is only a keychain.
Not a mod now, but still a memory.
Tiga in da house, Terry in my heart. All said.
R.I.P.

Dammit! Bengals/Steelers game listed on the channel guide, but they gave me Rams/Seahawks instead! I bet he’s laughing his ass off in Heaven that this Pittsburgh fella just got jipped out of a Steelers game..haha!

Here’s my kickoff toast to Terry!

Terry never got the chance to come play my Elvira. But tonight’s GC is dedicated to him.

(I know it doesn’t hold a candle to a quality player, but for me it is more than double my prior GC, haha)

It has been so sad not seeing any new posts from Who-Dey.

I miss Terry so much.

I am so glad that Terry lived life to the fullest, and had so much fun with all the games and friends he had.

I try to live my life that way also, and enjoy what I have all I can.

We never know when it is our time to go. Live everyday like it is your last day.

I just told all this tragedy about Terry to a friend, and my friend told me about someone he had known, Jim.

Jim worked all the time, saved all the money he could, never went anywhere, never did anything, ate baloney sandwiches all the time, to save money for retirement.

Unlike Terry, Jim did retire. BUT, just like Terry, he suddenly was lost after only 6 months of retirement.

I have no clue if this is real, or if my friend was just trying to cheer me up, but it did help me a tad.

Terry lived his life to the fullest, I have no clue what he ate(like Jim being cheap), but Terry enjoyed everything, and everyone, and I am just so damn glad that he lived a awesome life, and it f-ing sucks he got taken away, but at least as far as I know, and hope, he never suffered.

I hope Terry never suffered.

My Dad suffered for over 20 years. I helped take care of him for most of that time. Not even going into that.

Terry was 55, I am 52. This hits home big time with me.

My Dad made it to 76, after 20 years of being blind, very very sick all the time, and I can not type all that, sorry.

Terry enjoyed all his games, and looked very forward to getting new ones, same as me.

Because of my Dad experiences, I have thought about all of this for many years.

I hope however I go, I never know it, and never suffer. Best way I can tell is when you just pass while you are asleep.

And with tears in my eyes, I want to tell a joke that Terry would love:

If you died and went to hell, how long would it take you to notice that you were not still at work anymore?

And that is just a joke.

For real, Terry is in a awesome place, so many games he has always wanted to play are there, all his loved ones(human and animal) are there, and he is having the time of his life.

And if we can just figure out the link, Who-Dey is probably posting something on a site like pinside/heaven.com about all the awesome games he played all day.

Terry was a very good man.

I plan to behave as much as I can so that someday I can make it to the awesome place that he is at now, and hang out with him, and Dad, and many others.

I wish all of you the best always!

Wow. Drinking ice beer. Haven’t gotten drunk off that since high school. Haha.

Funny, I got some Colt 45 on a joke awhile ago and then ended up having to drink it. I realized then that ice beer/malt liquor is kind of tame since everything is high level IPA type shit this days.

#435 3 years ago

Some 35 years ago, the makers of Colt45( G Heileman Brewing) made us take 2500 cases of their newest brand extension...”Cool Colt”. It was menthol flavored. Just horrible. It got outdated in our warehouse after 120 days. Threw it all away!

#436 3 years ago
Quoted from Budman:

...”Cool Colt”. It was menthol flavored. Just horrible...

It was like a thick scope mouthwash. My friend used to drink 2 a night...whilst smoking Newports!
Probably 30 years ago though?

#437 3 years ago

It would be easier for me to get a new pin than a ps5...

#438 3 years ago

I just popped back in to salute who dey again!

Yeah, maybe 30. I’ll never forget the brewery showing us a hidden camera on one taste tester they pulled off the street that stated,” It’s cool!”....thus the name. So bad.

I don’t discriminate in my alcohol choices. I’ll drink anything. Just haven’t seen an ice beer in almost 20 years. Haha

It could possibly be a different beer , over here it's a mid-strength crisp beer .
And it was started by guy named chuck

These days there's nothing wrong with saying you love a guy , it just shows how much you care , the one bit of modern PC I don't mind .
