Terry (Bull) was everyone's friend. Always happy go lucky and always so much fun to spend time with. I have so many great memories of him and Nanci back in the day. After just hearing this awful news today, I truly am sorry I missed his wake because I would of loved to have had that shot of Irish whiskey for my friend and to hear many great stories I am sure that were shared. I know how much he adored his son, because about 2 years ago I gave him a ride and he was so happy to tell me all about him and seeing for myself the proud Dad he was. Until we meet again my friend, please greet me with your smile. To the Connell family I hope your pain melts away quickly and is filled up with the joys of your wonderful memories of Terry.

Uncle Terry,

Here's to beefsteak when you're hungry,

Whiskey when you're dry,

All the women you'll ever want,

And heaven when you die.

Miss you buddy.

My heart goes out to the Connell family. I knew Bull since 3rd grade, through Little League (where he was terrifying to bat against), and Fitzies, and Kinloch Park, and Club Connell, and our weddings, and he was the first of the gang to have a child. What a big lovable personality, I think he'd be proud he is being called an Albia Legend. RIP Ter
