I don't know what to say or where to start .
I'm so shocked , upset and sad .
Who-Dey - Terry is/was my best mate on pinside .
We would message each other all the time to see how each other were going and just talk crap .
One message would turn into 30 or 40 , 5 hours later .
We said if either one of us got to each other's country there will always be a room ready for each other and our partners .
I will treasure all the messages we sent to each other and with how popular he was on pinside , I feel privileged that he had time to message me as much as he did .
I upgraded my pinside account so I could send him pictures , the cheeky bugger found a way he could do it , without doing that .
He had a heart of gold , loved his partner Deborah and Jake , his Basset hound .
I wish I could upvote all the nice things being said but I just feel too flat .
You'll always be in my prayers buddy .

Quoted from jlm33:

I miss moderating him already...

I was sitting here very upset but that made me have a good laugh .
His tombstone should read , the mods can't get me now

Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:

I broke down on the phone with my boss this am. Can’t help it. Usually stronger.

It's the first time my wife has seen me cry in 17 years besides when one of our pets has passed .

My thoughts also go out to his Pride & Joy , Jake .
I can't imagine how hard it's going to be for him .

Quoted from Colsond3:

Every day I keep logging in and waiting to see him chiming in, or some crazy response to one of my posts. This truly sucks.

Is a really nice tribute to see people using his Avatar but everytime I see , it for a split second I think he's posted something , then reality sinks in

It was really nice to hear on a podcast today Kaneda giving Terry a shout out and Zach on the Pinball network giving a few seconds of silence to honour Terry , brought more than a tear to my eye .

Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

Would anyone be kind enough to upload bon Jovi - make a.memory song. I would like to dedicate it to everyone , especially Gunnut., Mourning the loss of our friend.
Thank you.

I hadn't heard this song before but it's a very nice gesture

#390 3 years ago

When I think of what has happened , this song comes to mind , not all the lyrics but just the general gist of it .
I didn't know Terry as much , as many of you guys here .
It's amazing , someone I never saw or spoke to in person , could leave such a hole in my heart .
I think it's because we had a lot in common , he would always ask how I was and what I was up to and ask alot of questions .
I really miss him .

I asked Terry what team his Mascot was from , I thought it might have been basketball but he explained it to me .
I don't have a NFL team but I guess I do now .
Go Bengals !

Quoted from chuckwurt:

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

Quoted from oldskool1969:

You and me both. Us Aussies loved him. Not in a gay way not that there is anything wrong with that

Yep .
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 .

Just a thought .
I wonder if any of Terry's mates would want to organise an annual Munsters comp , around his birthday .
Could be a good way to keep is memory going into the future .

I'm watching dead flip /Jack danger stream Fish Tales from about 3 years ago and at the 3 hour 34 minute and 45 second mark , he says " thanks for the support Who-Dey . "
It brought a huge smile to my face .
Well at least that's what I heard .

Quoted from Green-Machine:Here! Here! Terry really did care. He was actually very consumed with an issue that some local pinheads had said about him. I believe they were supposed to be his friends. He spoke about it with me multiple times just months before his passing. He was very upset about it. I tried to encourage him to let it go but he really was concerned about what he had said and that they must have misunderstood his meaning behind the statement. I felt bad for him because he was taking it so hard.

I can't get over how many people he was in touch with . How do you find the time to deal with so many people .
I just feel glad he found some time to deal with me .

RIP Terry...
[quoted image]

Fuck , that makes it really official .
Every time I see someone drinking a Pepsi , I think of Terry , as someone mentioned that's what he liked to drink .
He is still thought of and missed by people halfway around the world .
He made such a positive impact on a lot of people .

Quoted from Gunnut40:

I got Terry’s AS! I drove 1000 miles one way to grab this machine. Was working 70 hours a week worth it? Your god damn right it was worth it! My buddy saved it for me. Anyone else going save that shit? Nope only good friend of Terry’s would do that. The best person ever!

Great to know it's going somewhere where it's going to be loved and appreciated .
