I was looking up someone else and came up with this memorial to Terry. I remember the man, when he was younger and I was a musician trainee watching Paul Stewart show his passion for music, and on occasion, we would see Mr. Bourdier. They were a funny lot of folks who brought some class to Dayton, and were well-liked by all. I am glad that Terry had a distinguished career and best wishes for the family.

I'm heartbroken to learn of Terry's passing. Terry was a dear friend and in my heart, he still is. There are so many things to say but I'm lost for words. Karen, I'm sorry for your loss. Terry, my friend, you're missed. Club!

My deepest sympahies to Terry's family. I just learned of his passing. I worked with Terry years ago in some big band groups with several musicians. He had the funniest sense of humor I can remember. I can still remembe some of his best lines. He kept the entire group laughing so hard it was difficult to play the music! His sharp wit was incredible. I had the fortune of a chance meeting to see him a few years back in Beaumont. I now cherish that day after such a long absence of working with him.

Dear Bourdier Family,

I offer my deepest sympathies.

Although I have not seen Terry since high school, I was shocked and filled with sorrow when I learned of his passing today. I hope that it will bring you comfort to know he brought happiness to and was loved by so many.

Karen,
I'm so, so sorry but yesterday is when I heard
The hardest part is coming up with the right words
Terry was one that would always make me laugh
And he was very, very good with the LSU band staff
Something I'm thankful to Terry for, that I wish I had
Was a great relationship with Dr. Swor, my Dad
Condolences and Blessings for your entire family
I sincerely believe that Terry would want you to live on happily
God Bless You, Billy
