    OMG... I received a very upsetting phone call informing me that Good Friend and local F-Chat member Terry Shields AKA ts328 had passed away Wed April 23rd 2008 while taking care of his elderly mother at her home.

    Its not often you meet genuine, caring and trusting people such as Terry. Terry was 100% the person he portrayed himself as. We shared many things in common and hit it off from the day we met! My respect for him and his achievements in life grew more and more as we would spend hours speaking about life’s trials, accomplishments and tribulations… I will truly miss the conversation! But the presence of a good friend will always be there when I smell the aroma of a freshly opened bottle of wine, gaze over a green vineyard, listen to the symphony of a finely tuned Italian automobile or simply watching the sun set, thinking of all the great people I have met in my life and the many things they have taught me!

    Thank you Terry !! A Simple friendship can truly be the greatest gift anyone can leave behind when departing this life… I’m grateful and honored to be considered a friend of yours it is a gift I will treasure forever. Although I do not intend to catch up with you too soon, we will meet up again I have no doubts about that!

    Cheers Brother!

    Sad news indeed. Terry and I were to meet up next week so I could teach his how to use his new Steadicam.

    Enjoy your days here folks, you never know when they may come to an end.

    I'm stunned to hear this - I met Terry through smg2, and I've always looked forward to the times, here and there, that I got to spend with Terry. A down-to-earth truly brotherly man, a true asset to the community as a whole, I will miss you. Having just changed some hoses on the 328, Terry wasn't sure if his car was leaking after the last **********, so I followed him down 50 for a while to make sure everything was okay, and Terry was the kind of guy who would do that for anyone.

    I've gone on drives with Terry and Filomena, and he'd always been the consummate gentleman and wonderful driver. Someone with a true passion for the cars.

    A few weeks back, Terry called to ask about some of the local pizza places I'd talked about, and Corrie and I were hoping to go to one (or all) of them with him, but it looks like that opportunity has passed us by.

    I'm saddened and at a loss for better words to describe how I feel, and how much of a hole the NorCal Ferrari community will feel without him. Terry, I didn't know you long - not nearly long or well enough, but Corrie and I will miss your moustachioed smile every time we'd see you. Our very best to your family in this very sad hour. Rest in peace, friend.

    With lots of love,
    Corrie and Orrie

    Definitely a shock. I spent more than a few minutes with him, looking at his Ferrari, chatting with him about the cars. What a shame, he was a very giving person.

    I never knew him, but sad just the same. I can only hope when it's 'my turn', someone will be nice enough to post such a kind, similar post as #1 above. Strength to the family and friends he leaves behind.

    Alfonso and I were supposed to meet up with him on the 24th but had to cancel. Then I got the call.

    It still hasn't hit me that the bright giving gregarious and kind man I've known for years and just saw at the BBQ is gone.

    I literally thought of something I wanted to ask him this very morning. I'm still numb.

    Life is so very precious, cherish it and those you love.

    All I know is that he collapsed in his mothers home after some yard work, spoke to him the day before and saw him the week prior and he seemed just fine (see photo). Very unfortunate to have such a great person leave us so soon!
