------I have just heard that my good friend and partner, Terry Carney lost his battle with cancer this past weekend. Although Jan and I had been expecting this news sometime in the near future, it still is enormously painful. Once you were Terrys friend you were his friend forever. We will miss him greatly!!!!........Bill S

Bill, I know that you knew Terry for years and years. I was sorry to hear the news this morning. I saw him on Saturday and his family only hoped his passing would come quickly.
His last words to me were "come visit me next time you're in town".

Very sorry to hear that Bill. You two were together so much that when I first met you guys I kept getting the two of you mixed up. He was one of the good guys.

I didn't know him personally,but saw him referenced many times on here.
I was hoping to bump into him someday.
My sincere condolences to his friends and family.

Terry was also my good friend and partner. I will miss him a lot. Like Bill said, once he was your friend, he was your friend forever. He always had a positive attitude.
Even when I saw him just before his first Chemo session he was very upbeat.
I remember one of his favorite things to say to me was: I'm having so much fun with these cars, it should be against the law.

I will miss him greatly. RIP Terry.

My sincere condolensces go out to Terry's family during this difficult time.
I first was introduced to him several years ago by Jan S when she and Bill brought Red Alert to Vettefest. We immediately engaged in a conversation that lasted at least half an hour. Having grown up in the Chicago area and involved with cars since the late '70s, I'm not sure how we hadn't met before that day.
Whenever I saw him after that, BG, NCRS meets, the Mecum auctions, he ALWAYS greeted me with a good word, a pat on the back, and a smile. The only exception was the last Vettefest when he told me of his condition. I knew it was serious, but hoped that it wasn't going to be our last meeting.
R.I.P Terry, you left us way too soon.
