Hi Tom! Thanks for the comments. Terry was my Uncle and your age of death may be correct but he did not die in 1959. He died in 1989 or shortly thereafter.

Great site.
Enjoyed hearing Terry’s talent again. We attended school together from kindergarten through graduation in 1952.
My brothers and I played with Terry and his dad, Fremont, during our junior and high school years. He was a natural from the time Mami Gerlach taught him piano lessons during elementary school.
You have his age at death incorrect. He was born in 1934 and died in 1959. Age at death 55. Spoke with him just prior to his death and seemed to be reconciled to same.
Miss not only his talent but his smiling presence.
