"Mr. and Mrs. Lidstone and Karyn, My heart goes out to you all. I knew Terry, but not all that well. He grew up and was friends with my brother Brian. My family use to go over to your house for cookouts and get togethers when I was younger. Now, when I did see him he would always make it a point to say hi to me in that soft voice that he had. My parents send thier deepest sympathy to you all at this time of grief as well. You will get past this. The pain eases, but thank god the memories will always be vivid. I know he is up there right now with Brian having a great time. Laughing and joking. Please find solice in the fact that he is free now and with god. Remember..god takes only the best to be his Angels...... Your all in my thoughts and prayers."

"Mr. and Mrs. Lidstone and Karyn, I am so deeply saddened to here of the loss of your son and brother. I can still remember him as a cub scout. He was so shy and sweet. He was always willing to lend a hand. When he was my neighbor a few years back we would'nt have time to speak but always shared a wave every morning and afternoon. He was always kind and considerate. I can't even imagine how you must be feeling at this time. I have been praying for all of you since Monday. Mrs. Lidstone I remember when my grandmother passed away tragicly in a car accident and you brought cookies over to my children who were only 4 and 7 at the time. You made us feel so good. Your strength of character gave me inspiration to get to the next day. You have always been such a strong person, and a terrific mother. I know that your strength and faith will help you and your family through this. We are thinking of all of you at this time in our thoughts and prayers. The Binette Family"

Although I only knew him for the last four years, he was someone who made you feel like you had been friends forever. I will remember most his infectious smile and genuine kindness.The first time I had met Terry was during one of the music festivals in Newport doing one of the things he loved the most, being on his boat surrounded by friends. We became good friends and he shared many stories. He loved you all so much,and it showed how much you loved him. I will miss him deeply, but will keep memories of him with me forever.He touched many lives. You are in my prayers. love, Cheryl"

"Dear Pat, Norm and Karyn, After hearing the tragic news of Terry?s death, my thoughts and prayers have been for all of you. I have such wonderful memories of Terry, from his soft spoken gentle voice to his sparkling blue eyes, and his somewhat shy way. He was always a joy to be around. Terry, David, and Joel were able to share a lot of happy childhood times together. Over the past few days I have reflected back to all the wonderful times that our families shared together, whether it was camping trips, skiing trips, or a back yard cookout, our one of our great boating adventures like the day we set out to go to Rocky Point and the engine lost forward gear and we had to back all the way back to the mariner, when we finally reached the mariner the boys jumped out and ran up the dock, Terry turned and said thanks Mr. & Mrs. Camara I have to get home my parents are waiting for me. I remember how you, Norm, David and I sat there and had a great laugh that was the shy Terry. Our the time we all went out to dinner at the China Royal, we were sitting have an adult conversation and the boys had moved over to the next table, when we finally stop talking and realize they were having a grand time laughing, only to realize they had been shooting spit balls to see who could hit the light. Every time we went back there they would have to check to see if they were still on the light. As the boys grow up and finished high school we didn?t see Terry as often. But when we did he was always so pleasant and polite, he would go out of his way to always say hi. These are the memories that we must hold on to and cherishes. Please find comfort in the thought of Terry with the arm of Jesus on his shoulder. May your faith in Jesus get you through this most difficult time. Thank you for sharing Terry with us. We Love You Terry ! God Bless You All Love, David & Pat"

"Dear Mr. & Mrs. Lidstone and family, I am so sorry to hear about Terry. I have very fond memories of Terry. Most of the time we were laughing, driving in his blue bronco, living in that dingy little apartment we had in Portsmouth, hitting the beach, etc. Terry was always full of laughter and brought joy to all who knew him. Terry had a carefree way of looking at life that was infectious. I, and countless others, will miss him greatly. His memory will live on in all of us."
