The last time I saw Terry was in 2012. I've worked with him on a number of occasions.
He would typically show up by himself, driving a Phoebus truck full of gear. It often amazed me how this thin dude could handle all that lighting gear as a one-person crew. Terry would start working as soon as he got on site. But before that, he would make a point to say "Hi" to everyone.
He was very careful about unloading/ loading the equipment, so as to not cause damage.
One thing I noticed about Terry is his calmness throughout a job. When things got hectic, he would hustle but still maintain his cool. I have never heard him complain, yell, or speak ill of anyone.
He just got the job done.
I have this vision of Terry from an actual job - he's at his lighting board with his arms crossed, just waiting for the show to start. He's got some fruit and coffee on the side. (Or was that mine?) He's usually at the controls early, before anyone else.
It was those times when he'd show me the lighting board. Or we'd talk about our families and his BART rides to/from work. When I asked him why didn't he just drive to work given his odd hours, he would say BART was convenient most of the time. I say "You've got live shows to do and you're taking the BART?!!" Yes. Somehow, he magically makes it work without any complaints or issues.
I'm glad to have had the opportunity to work with him. Terry's a classy guy.
