Kim,
I am so sorry about the loss of Terry. I was privileged to walk a slice of his last journey with a few interactions. Know that his loss is great to many but no greater than to you or the children. I was lucky to know someone who will be hard to forget.

I have long counted Terry in my short list of close friends. I learned so many lessons from him, not the least of which was how to face a devastating diagnosis with dignity while making everyone else comfortable with it. You will be remembered with love by so many, my friend.
My condolences to Kim and the rest of Terry’s family. What a special individual Terry was and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with him. He had a wonderful spirit and exuded genuine warmth. He also had a pretty stout sense of humor. RIP Terry! You’ll be missed.

All who knew him were truly blessed. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. We know that we will one day see him again in heaven. What a privilege to have known him!
Kim, so sorry for your loss. Terry was such a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I thought of Terry often. He was my therapist before he offered me a job. He was a great man. I can’t believe this. Your family are in my prayers. You have a great angel looking down on your family now. In my prayers.
I want to express my condolences to all of Terry’s family, his coworkers and his friends. I was blessed to know Terry as my PT many years ago and was impressed by his kindness and drive to help people. More recently, I had the pleasure of working with him, and I do mean it was a pleasure to work with him. He often had a joke or two to help us start our days during morning meetings. I was always impressed with his capacity to remember things and the vast knowledge he had. I didn’t realize what a strong person he was until the last year. Wow, what a guy, to go through what he went through and still maintain his sense of humor and positive outlook on life. What a Man! I am awestruck by his strength and loving concern for his family. He loved my crazy animal stories and I especially was fond of him because he’s the only one that believed I saw that bear at Lakeside 🙂
Terry was a true angel here on this earth and made a difference in so many people’s lives. I was blessed to have worked with him. My deepest sympathy to Kim and Terry’s family.
So sorry for your loss Kim. He was a very nice man. I remember Terry when I first started working at Lakeside many years ago, he was a PT back then. Terry will most certainly be missed.
Terry was a great individual. Always willing to listen and help in anyway he could. He will be missed by many. May you rest in peace Terry and may your family and friends find peace and comfort in their memories of you.
Kim and family,
I am shocked and saddened to hear of Terry’s passing. I am so glad I was able to reconnect with Terry two years ago. We worked together at LMH in the early 90’s when he was in PT and I worked in nutrition and we met up two years ago when he attended a conference at my facility. He was a great guy who always had a way to make me laugh. When I heard that he had cancer and how he fought that so valiantly I was amazed. I am sorry for your loss, he put up the best fight he could.
So glad he did not go through a prolonged period of sufferring. Although he was only with us a short time, he made a tremendous impact at Thompson Health. It was such a pleasure and privilege to work with him again. I will miss his dedication to our Residents and his awesome sense of humor. He treasured his children and Kim you were the love of his life. I know he will watch over all of us. Mike
I will miss Terry, but the fond memories of him will last forever. He was a pleasure to work with with and always displayed a sense of humor. Maybe a splash of cynicism would sneak into our conversations as well. His ironic humor, great abilities and sincerity are my lasting memories. He was humble and easy going. I want be be more like Terry.
I am thankful to work with Terry these past few months, he will be missed. You are all in my thought and prayers during this time
My deepest sympathies for Kim and Terry’s family. I had the pleasure of working with Terry for a couple years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
When my husband told me that Terry had died, I felt stunned. We knew he was still battling, but like so many have already expressed, it’s hard to believe that Terry is not here to continue to brighten this world. He will be so missed. I am praying that you all feel the strong presence of the Lord in these days and years of sorrow ahead and that you are strengthened by it. We have a faithful God that loves us and I’m certain that he loves Terry…and all of you too. With all of my love.
I’m and family, Terry will always will have a special place in my heart because of his gentleness and kindness. He will be missed and remembered by many. My prayers are with you. Our trains are receiving their Eagle Scout that night so I will be unable to attend his celebration of life. So sorry. Marietta
My heart is bleeding for your loss. May God comfort your family at this time.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of his loved ones. I felt honored to know him and work alongside him at Thompson Health. He will be truly missed. God Bless.
Uncle John & Aunt Rosie are in their summer home and will be unable to attend the Celebration of Your Life on Monday, August 10th. However, Aunt Rosie includes all the Klinetob family in her daily prayers. She and Uncle John send their deepest sympathy.
My sincere sympathy to you Kimberly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless and may he rest in peace.
Kim and family, I am so sorry about your loss. I’ve only heard about Terry and what a kind Man he is. I’ve felt the kindness and peace in this CCC Lobby that I’ve never felt before. I only know because of our Resident’s our employee’s and our visitor’s that have told me about Terry. I heard a lot of wonderful idea’s that he brought to our CCC. He will truely be missed. Kimberly my thoughts are with you and the family. Helane Koehler
Prayers to all his family. A loss like this is never easy, praying for God’s comfort to surround all of you. I do miss Terry, we enjoyed laughing together and seeing how blessed we were to have the privilege of being dads.
