I am so sorry to hear of Terry's passing. He was a good friend and always made sure he provided legal advise to assist me with my job there in NLR. Breaks my heart to know he was only 62 yrs of age. I didn't know he had been ill. Thank you Terry for being my friend. You now have peace.

I am deeply sorry for your families loss. I have personally found comfort in the scriptures such as the one at Revelation 21:4 where we learn that soon suffering, pain and death will be no more. Again, I express my sympathies and hope you find comfort in this message.

Terry will be missed. I was lucky enough to have the chance to work with him over the years. He wore many hats in his legal profession and he wore them all well.

I knew Terry as a fraternity brother, golf partner, and most importantly as a friend. He had a keen intellect and an easy smile, but it was his generous and compassionate nature that illuminated his world and all those fortunate enough to know him. Its a mark of a good man and a life well lived when all who knew him can instantly recount how he helped them, befriended them, and protected them while never asking for anything in return. Terry's gentle and loving memory will remain in our hearts forever. God bless you my dear friend.

Sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Terry. My husband knew him better than myself but I did have the privilege of him defending me this year in a traffic case! He was a great guy and you could certainly tell that he was more concerned with helping others rather than money. Terry will be sorely missed and I will be praying for the family during this difficult time. Rest in peace Mr. Ballard.

I worked with Terry in my first job out of law school. He was always so kind to me, so willing to answer my questions, and to also remind me to laugh! I so appreciate everything I learned from him and am grateful that I had the opportunity to work with someone as wonderful as him. Thanks, Terry, for everything. I will miss you! Rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and friends.

Terry was a great guy. He would help anyone that would let him. I admired how he could chew you up on the stand and then make you laugh with him when he was done . See you on the other aide Sir.
