Terry Shannon
This morning, in the middle of the SDA training, fellow student Alan Frisbee all at a sudden cried out "Oh noo!!", and through his tears he read Sue´s mail that brought tears to all our eyes: Terry Shannon died.
And we had expected him here in Nashua next week...
I have many and pleasant memories on hime, but two of my favorites stand out:
At the Vienna Decus barbecue we talked for many outdoors hours. Me, with my tobacco aversion, always upwind of him.
One of his stick horses (outside of IT) was that tobacco was sooo much worse than heroin:
In ´Nam, "everybody" used. When his platoon was told they where scheduled for home in three weeks time, but only those that were "clean" could go, "I had one bad day and never ever even was interested again, like, AFAIK, all my mates".
But stopping nicotine had proved impossible in at least 3 tries.
The second memory I would like to recount is not one-to-one, but from one of his famous speaches.
At one of the European Decusses he started (words from my memory, not literal): "Today is the (?)th anniversary of my best airplane flight ever. With 300+ people in a plane for 130 passengers. But MAN, IT WAS THE FLIGHT OUT OF NAM!!"
That period in his life really left deep tracks, and it showed regularly.
Terry,
Thanks for those (too few!!) hours,
we will miss you.
may you rest in peace.

and thought he had turned the corner. I emailed him on Sunday to say I was looking forward to seeing him at the bootcamp but it is not to be.
I met Terry several times at various events and always enjoyed his presentations. I was a frequent visitor to his web site and have exchanged emails on various topics.
Our world is a darker place without him.

Rest in Peace Terry

Re: Terry Shannon
We discovered this at a DECUS symposia many years ago and formed a bond beyond the world of IT.
He also made several presentations to the CARTS LUG (Chicagoland) over the years and as most of you know, kept us informed and laughing at events in many different parts of the world.
Rest in peace Terry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dave...

Re: Terry Shannon
One of the most rememberable was the moment when we both tried to get out of LA a few days after September 11th. We stuck together and both solved our flights out.
May he rest in peace and be remembered by many.

Re: Terry Shannon
Let us all remember our good moments with Terry.
I know he thought the world did often not deserve it, but nevertheless should be taken for its good things.
Let us all live up to that.
Terry, may you have found the rest you deserve!!!
