Terry Glenn was my Dude. I remember first meeting Terry in the mid 70's and couldn't believe how talented of basketball player he was. Together we managed together to get him a walk on tryout with the University of Tennessee Basketball Team. Guess what..??? Terry Glenn made the Team and together we managed to WIN the SEC Tournament Championship beating the University of Kentucky in Birmingham Ala.

Terry was given the adopted name "MONEY" by his VOL Teammates and rightfully so he was that talented.

Terry "Money" Glenn I going to miss you my Brother but I will always remember the great times we shared on and off the court.

Condolences to the Family and "Money" we will kick it again one day. Rest well my loyal..faithful servant🙏🏽

I met Terry in 1979 when he came to the University of Tennessee Basketball. We competed everyday in practice; and our team won a 1979 Southeastern Conference Tournament Championship. Terry Glenn was a VFL! His commitment to his church, family, teammates, and friends is a true testament of the kind of person he was. Thank you for being a great person and friend!

Giving my deepest condolences and sympathy to family and friends of Terry. I knew Terry from work and very kind man. We spoke every day, he was truly a great person. We always spoke about back home in the Low Country and our Gullah Geechee culture and how beautiful home is. I just told him last week I visited home and missed it so much we had a family reunion in Mt. Pleasant and how it felt great to feel the sea breeze. Terry really was a gem and will truly be missed. Rest In Power Terry.

Terry, a co-conspirator in the QC Department, always had a smile for me. We traded basketball stories and pretended to shoot "free-throws" at each other through the window between our respective departments. I will miss him. Condolences to the family. He is in God's care now.
