Sorry posted myself before I found this - known him since Feb 2015. Hell of a nice guy!

Today will be a difficult one - going to the visitation. His uncle Ed is actually into pinball as well - that is how I heard the news. Will be tough to see him and Debbie, hope I can hold it together.

I still remember cursing those damn stairs to get pins in and out of his place!

Just got back from the funeral home. I made sure Debbie understood his connection here and all the support from around the world. I passed on this thread as well and his Uncle and brother have seen this thread and find it amazing to say the least. Thanks to the whole community for all your support.

Thanks Scott! I’ll see you tomorrow. You were always so good to Terry.

Oops I was thinking you were going tomorrow to.

Unfortunately, since I have parkinsons, I'm trying to limit my contact while this stupid pandemic is around. I'll be there in spirit...

Here are a few of his high scores on a Getaway in his Uncle's game room.

Quoted from Gunnut40:

Thanks for talking to me. I was so sleepy. Like a idiot...I had phone on mute so the gps couldn’t talk to me. I added about 2 hours on my way home. I knew I was in trouble when I ended up in Lexington instead Louisville. Oh well. I made it to funeral and home safe in sound.

Glad you were able to go. Thanks again to all pinside for your overwhelming support!

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.

I'm going to close out the collection going to Debbie so I can get it to her. If anyone else wants to make a donation - it is up to $600 already.

Paid a visit to Debbie and Ed (his uncle) today. Heard stories of Terry's fist fishing trip and many others. The game room was eerily quiet without him there. Many thanks to all that donated to help Debbie - she was very thankful that everyone was so generous and Ed loves the signed Munsters flyer!

Debbie asked me to pass on again how much the donations meant to her. She was really blown away by the support from everyone here.

Thanks to all!

Well the time has come - waiting to post this until it was confirmed, but his pinball collection is going to come here except for one which will stay in the family (munsters). I am going to buy two (WD, and maiden) of the remaining 5 and will be putting the last 3 up for sale. The pins that will be for sale are his GB premium, AS pro, and Met premium. They will be posted on pinside once they are here and I am ready to list them. I can work with shippers if necessary.

All pins are spoken for at this point - all going to friends/relatives of Terry. WD and Maiden are here, Munsters is with his Uncle. Other three are set for pickup from good friends.

Played one for Terry on each game - got my ass kicked and no high scores...

Just retired his pic as my avatar today. Still think about him, especially when playing Walking Dead or Iron Maiden.

Quoted from Spiderpin:

I'll put my paperwork in for retirement next week. I'm about 90 days out. I can't stop thinking of Terry being so close to retirement himself.
Who-Dey

Best move ever - prepare yourself for stress level to zero out (almost)

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!

I've still got IM and WD, his uncle still has Munsters.

Terry's Uncle Ed and I are cooking up some charity work with project pinball. Currently we have a NIB JP pro we are giving to project pinball to place somewhere of there choosing. It will have a plaque that is in memory of Terry. We are also working on getting a HUO guardians pro into Dayton Childeren's Hopital - just waiting on Project Pinball to close the loop with them.

Looks amazing
I still think about Terry. Miss him giving me shit. I hope his family knows the impact he had on this community and the people that still keep him in there thoughts.

They all got to read this thread and were blown away. No one had any idea that he touched so many people.

Have a fellow pinsider dying from pancreatic cancer looking for a topper for Munsters. I know who-dey loves Munsters... anyone here have a lead on a topper for Munsters?

I saw that, no leads unfortunately - thanks for collecting for him!
