Condolences to you Georgie I have been wondering why I was not getting any emails from Terry. I plan to be in GA during Oct this year and had sent Terry an email telling him that I would love to see him and we could catch up on news. Now we will not be able to talk about COL Garringer. Terry was the absolute best boss that I ever had during my years of service. After returning to CONUS we reconnected again. Terry and I have maintained that relationship over many years. He will be missed by many. Peace Be With You My Dear Friend

I am so sorry to hear of Terry's passing I just found out today. He was a great neighbor. And cared about all his neighbors Would send out cards at all Holliday's and special occasions. He kept the neighborhood informed on all issues that affected us. I have never known anyone that was more of an animal lover He believed in giving back to Nature. I will truly miss him May he rest in peace.

No one will ever know the closeness and love , Uncle Terry and I have shared through the years. Later in our lives he became my rock, my advisor, and my listening ear. There will never be another "Terry Gumbert, " we can all be assured of that. He touched so many lives. Aunt Georgie you're most certainly in our thoughts and prayers, we will always be here for you.

Terry became a friend in later years that I enjoyed talking with over the phone. A few years ago he asked me to see if I could find any information about a quilt club his mother belonged to here in the Home Pa. area. Mary had left him patches that the club had made that had never been made into a quilt. The quilts were referred to as signature quilts. It's my understanding that he had his niece contact an Amish lady that did make the quilt for him. Over a period of several months , I was able to talk mostly to sons and daughters of some of the club members. Three of the people were original members of the club. Two were in personal care homes and one was living at home.While talking to one of the ladies, I asked if she had ever been a member of a quilt club in Home, Pa. Her answer was no. At that point I showed her a picture of a patch that she had made. It was a touching moment when she said, oh that is mine.Over the years, i had several occasions to work for Martha W. and after finishing a job that day we were sitting on her back porch swing when I asked if she had been a member of a quilt club in Home. Her answer was yes and she shared who some of the members were. The memory of her turning to look at me to say, you will never guess what the name of the club was, is one that I will never forget.Olive W. was a resident of a personal care home somewhere in Ohio. She was the founder of the club, 100 years old and still had a very sharp mind. She remembered many of the ladies. Having talked with Martha, I just had to ask Olive the reason for naming the club as she did. Her answer was, well, when we lived at home and meal time came around we would often be reminded that, "we don't gossip".We are so sorry for your loss Georgianna. Terry will be missed by many more than you might ever know.
