I was privileged to meet Terry when I was in New York in 2004 for a two-week symposium on writing about music and opera, sponsored by Columbia University. He filleted my offering in a way that was brutal without ever being mean-spirited (and, of course, he was absolutely right about what I had turned in). I lost my first wife a little before Hilary passed away, and we shared a few messages about the difficulty of navigating life alone. He was someone I always admired. Thank you for sharing your memories of him
Wow, this hits hard. I remember the early days of blogging and how kind he was. I didn't know him in real life, some exchanged emails, etc., but I remember him with so much fondness. This is a lovely tribute Sarah.
I regret too often letting social media substitute for deeper contact, but he was a true dear friend. It’s so hard to believe he has left us so suddenly.

Sorry for your loss.
What a lovely, heartfelt tribute to a wonderful friend, great critic and fine human being. I'm so sorry.
You really captured Terry here. I’m glad you were neighbors and could see each other these past years, and I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much, Maud. I know how dear a friend he was to you, too.
