by Billy Burns, lifelong friend

I think of Terry every single day. He was more than a friend, more like a big brother. I have known Terry for many many years. He would tell people that he is the one who introduced me to my wife, Noreen, and she and I have been together over 57 years. So, Terry and I go way back. We grew up in the streets of Seattle, with fast cars and loud music. Terry was a very talented athlete and earned the nickname "Scoop", because of his ability to get every rebound on the basketball court. Scoop was so good at the sport, they retired his number in college. Scoop and I had a real love for music. We attempted careers in it for a while. I performed and he took to the business side of it. While in LA, Terry did well and had lots of fun. He always had this entrepreneur spirit about him. He was full of ideas and had the courage to attempt anything. He could talk it through and then, just go for it. There are really too many stories to tell on the subject - there are so many great things about Terry Easter. He was a special person, and I miss him dearly. We spoke often and right up to the end, he was still telling me jokes and laughing out loud. I love and miss you Scoop. Fly high my brother, until we laugh together again.
