Humbly offering condolences to the family of Terry Story, whom I got to know over the course of our years in law enforcement. Terry was a genial man with an inquisitive mind and a collaborative spirit. I always enjoyed his friendship and his perspective on the various projects we worked on between our two agencies. You didn't spend much time around Terry without him talking about his family, and you could tell that's where his heart was! Terry was a credit to the law enforcement profession, a friend and colleague, and a good person. May God give you peace and comfort at his loss.
I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Terry many times over his years at ETSU. It was always a pleasure and each time I came away smiling and appreciative of getting to speak with him, even if it was only for a few minutes. He was a credit to his profession and just super, super guy. Prayers to his family and friends.
Terry was a wonderful man and a credit to ETSU. His professional manner and ease with people made him exceptional in law enforcement in the complex day to day life of a university. He never deviated from the premise to protect and serve. Thousands of students benefited from his good works and friendly way.
So sorry for your loss, I know he will be missed by all. My prayers for you Evelyn and the family.
So sorry for the loss of your dad .praying for you and your family
Along with others I mourn the loss of a good friend. We shared many good times and much laughter together at ETSU. A professional in all respects and just a good all around guy. A just, upright and honest man and human being---a true friend to many. Thoughts and prayers for the family and many friends and admirers. Rest well my friend.
