Message from S Young

I would like to send my deepest condolences for the Wetzel Family on the lost of there loved one. As a minister who cares about people, part of my ministry involves reaching out to those who are grieving. The Bible says death was not part of Jehovah God's plan for mankind, that is way it is so hard to deal with this kind of loss. Here are some scriptures that have brought me comfort when I have lost a love one or friend in death.
Revelation 21: 3 & 4 Says God promise's there will come a time when death, sickness and pain will be no more all these things will pass away.
Psalm 29: 37 The righteous will posses the earth and live forever on it.
Jehovah God (Psalm 83: 18 New World Translation and King James 83: 18 ) makes this all come true thru his Kingdom Rule in the hands of his son Jesus Christ , which we all pray for at Mathew 6: 9 and 10 Let your Name be Sanctified, Let your Kingdom Come, Let your Will take place as in Heaven also on Earth. This is the hope of all mankind. Thinking of your family at this time.

My deepest condolences to the Wetzel family . I was a Flt Engineer stationed at Da Nang AB Vietnam in 69-70 with Terry.
We flew many missions together during our deployment there.
Terry always had a smile on his face and was fun to be with. He will be missed by all of us who knew him.
Rest in peace my friend.

Message from CWO (retired) Bill krier Past President of The Para Rescue Association of Canada

I would like to express condolences to all of the Wetzel Family and Friends of Terry's.
It is not easy to lose a loved one and our hearts and prayers go out to all of you!
I have been involved with the American PJ's since 1961 when I was stationed at RCAF Station Goose Bay Labrador Newfoundland. I knew all the USAF PJ's at 54th ARS and had many good parties and training jumps with the guys. This relation has carried on with the USAF Pararescue Association and the Canadian Para Rescue Association of Canada today.
I remember Terry during the many international SAREX over the years that started in 1971. Terry was a big part of the relationship that carries on today. I know I can speak for all of those members of The Para Rescue Association of Canada in saying "Rest In Peace My Friend "RESCUE"--PER ARDUA AD ASTRA!

Message from Scott Rice

Although I knew you but a short time, it is with respect and admiration that I remember you. Heartfelt condolences to the Wetzel family. Rest in peace, Terry.

Message from Pete Long

I knew Terry at Hill and McClellan. I enjoyed seeing him at the PJ reunions. I was not aware of ALL his accomplishments. Prolific. You lived the Motto.

Message from John Cassidy

I met Terry for the fist time in Oct0ber 1977 as result of assignment to 71st ARRS Elmendorf AFB, AK. This began an appreciation of knowing and working alongside Terry connected to our assignments to 41st ARRS, McClellan AFB, CA and HQ MAC, Scott AFB, IL. He is being missed and the only solace is he led a good life and he is with a lot of good people that we both know that have made the final jump.

Message from Gary Wasmer

Terry and I spent a lot of time together while we were at Woodbridge, he played piano and I played guitar, but neither one of us could sing. Once he came back from a trip to the States with a new song he wanted us to play, and we learned "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone". We just learned it from his memory. We played everything by ear. Terry was just as good on the guitar as he was on the piano. Those are great memories, and he was a great friend. Wish we could have spent more time together these last years, we always meant to, but the miles got in the way.
