Dear Janlyn, Karen, Brandon, and Kendall, We are so saddened by the loss of our beautiful cousin, your loving husband, wonderful brother, and loving father. He was such a good person, always happy and always smiling. We will miss him dearly and will always remember him saying from afar “Hey Cousin!” We love you Terry! Our prayers are with you all. Love Uncle John, Sherry and Al, Tony and Joan, Polly and Ray, and Tracy and John.
Hey Chef Green thanks for being my teacher and still being supportive even after we graduated. Class of 2000 will miss you and I’m glad that you got to be apart of my life. You will remain apart of my . Yes Chef!!! Job well done
To all the Green family, I am so sorry to hear of Chef Green passing. He was a life impacting teacher for me and many others at Western. My best memories in high school took place in the culinary walls and events. I will never forget and always be grateful that he talked me into switching into his class from cosmetology freshman year. He gave us so much of himself and his time. Thank you for all the years you shared him with us. In times like these so many people tend to say they are ” sorry for your loss”, but try to remember that nothing is lost if you know where it is. A better place, a beautiful sky, watching all of us. Prayers and hugs for such a wonderful teacher in my life:)
Janlyn, Kendall, Brandon:
My prayers go out to you and your family. To young to soon. I remember when we put our to infants together and Brandon had at least a 3” on my Jason. Terry was a great guy, wonderful host, phenomenal cook, and he will be remembered fondly and missed by thousands.
Dear Janlyn, Kendall and Brandon, I am so glad you moved to Rose Haven in time for me to get to know how great a fella Terry was, Janlyn – and how much he loved you all. I still picture him on that zero turn with his headphone music on, as he was mowing for us – and he would stop and talk and joke when he was done… he just never gave into all that he physically endured over the last decade and I think he truly enjoyed ‘decorating’ while you were on your homestretch at the courthouse, Janlyn. …now I see Kendall handling that zero just like her Dad! I know he was so proud of both you and Brandon.. Love and prayers during this tough season, Fran
Janlyn, Kendall & Brandon, We are so sorry to hear of Terry passing. His kindness touched so many people and he always made time for others no matter what he had going on. No words seem enough, but please know that our love and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time.
Chef thanks for always being there for me and teaching me such great things. You always weren’t just our teacher you were also our adopted dad. Such a sad day when you were taken. You always smiled nmw and you will be forever in my heart and missed. Thanks for always being the BEST.
My deepest condolences. I first met Chef Green through my brother Matt who was in the Culinary Arts program at Western. To me he was Coach Green since I played lacrosse for him for four years. Definitely some of my favorite times from high school. Thanks for everything Coach Green.
I wish to pass along my sincerest condolences to the whole Green family. Chef Green was my teacher for four years at Western and a mentor for many more. When I think back to my time in Culinary Arts class it is hard to believe that he was able to teach us so much, get us to work so hard, and still was able to join us in having way to much fun. Through the years he would bring students into the club I work at to help us with our Christmas party, and I always loved to see the students follow him around like little ducks. He was truly loved and admired by all his students.
Chef, thank you for being a huge part of making me who I am today.
Janlyn, Kendall, & Brandon, We are so sorry for your loss. Terry was and is an awesome Father, Husband, Teacher and Friend. Lots of good times through the years, from NASCAR, Plays, Kayaking and the infamous Gingerbread houses! (just to name a few) We shall cherish those in our hearts today and always. Mr. Green Till we meet again –
Mike, Robin, Nikki, Katie, Rachael & Dakota
Terry was a great friend and colleague for so many years. I enjoyed working with him as a fellow high school culinary arts teacher as well as being involved with the ACF in Baltimore. Terry was one of the most influential culinary instructors in Maryland and his efforts will be in place for many years to come. He was always there for his students – he mentored so many successful students throughout his career. His love for teaching and being with students was evident with the wonderful rapport he had with all. I wish the Green family my sincerest wishes as you go through this challenging time. Always remember the good times as memories are everlasting.
