As much as he hated doing tragic stories, he always felt he could show a personal side and concern for the families involved. Getting out of his car and climbing onto the outside of the bridge, he took pictures of San Francisco during the first minutes of the temblor including the loss of a span of the bridge on which he was perched. Terry also shot several documentaries, most notably in China and Southeast Asia. His friend and colleagues said Terry loved the outdoors, taking every opportunity to hike, camp, fish and sail. But, said Mumm, that passion and all of his professional prowess was subordinate to his love for his family.
Memorial services are pending.
