Mr. Terrycloth was a wonderful gym teacher to my daughter and a great principle at Bristol School. Ive been a bus driver for Bristol for the last 25 years or so and when ever there was a problem on my bus, he always took care of the problem. I also was a bus driver many times for the safety patrol field trip to the Kenosha bowling alley. I enjoyed some many conversations with him. I even told hI’m how he looks so much like Mark Baden on channel twelve news which he said many people have told him thst. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and may he RIP!
I’m so sorry the auto correct on my phone wrote Mr. Terrycloth. It should have read Mr. Terry.

Dear Terry Family:
Words can’t even express the sorrow that we feel for your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. If there’s anything you need, or anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. <3
Mr. Terry was such a wonderful man. He was an amazing part of the growth in many Bristol families, mine included. He will be dearly missed by many. My heart is with the family at this time. ❤️ RIP Jeff ❤️
My deepest sympathy extends to the Terry family. Jeff was a caring and compassionate principal at Bristol, qualities that should be emulated by administrators everywhere. Sadly missing him in our Bristol halls. He will be long remembered. Wishing you peace.
I can’t believe you’re gone. I was not only blessed to have you as a teacher, but to work with you when you were principal. You have no idea how much you are loved and missed. Prayers to your family.
Jeff Terry was an advocate for students. I know our two children felt supported by him as did we, as parents. Bristol School owes much to Mr. Terry’s dedication. Our family will remember him always, and we will honor his memory by remembering to treat others with kindness, as he did. Condolences and peace to the Terry family.
Mr. Terry, it’s been a year sense the last time I saw you. We ran into one another at cousins. You were the best teacher one could have asked for. You taught me so much throughout grade school, to the point I returned years later just to check in. I will never forget my 2nd grade self walking into gym class and you pulling on my pigtail. I still tell the story on how you noticed me not running your obstacles course so you put me on your shoulder and ran it with me just like that. You will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with your family, if you need anything please reach out.
Jeff was one the most honest people I have ever met. I was his roommate in college for several years in La Crosse. I have a ton of stories which none of you would understand including my only time to the state fair in West Allis, staying at his parents in Paddock Lake, him showing me Kenosha and the many arguments over sports.
Jeffrey Terry RIP. Knew this young man very well for many years. Great person to be in a school working with children. Had him on my bus many times, Been a great friend and student, had many conversations with Jeff along the way. Marjorie Schmidt
Such a loss to the community, my condolences to the whole Terry family.
He was my principal while I attended Bristol Grade School. He was actually my gym teacher first before his promotion. He was always so joyful and spread positivity. I was kind of the class clown and got into trouble a lot. He was always very understanding that my buddies and I were just young boys messing around. Heavy heart after hearing this news. He was a positive influence in those young years in boys life. I hope he found the peace he was searching for. My condolences to the family. 💔
U have known Jeff as a child growing up and as an adult serving his community!
It saddens me to think we loss such a beautiful person way to soon!
May the Lord comfort the family, you are in my prayers!
I am truly sorry to hear of Mr. Terry’s passing. He was kind, generous and sincere. His life influenced so many others. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
My prayers go to all your family a terrible loss gone way to to soon.
My heart goes out the the Terry family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Jeff will be sorely missed. He helped us when Gabe was having issues at school. He helped me feel more comfortable as another in law to the Figarino family. Lisa’s and his wedding was my very first family event. Lisa, matthew and Katie, please call or text us at 262-893-0052 or 484-3984 if you need anything. We are only 20 minutes away. We love you and hope the memories eventually outweigh your grief.
I hadn’t seen Jeff (Duffy) in about 20 years and stopped by Bristol after a visit to my folks in Paddock Lake in late August, hoping to catch up, not realizing he wasn’t there anymore. Lisa, Matthew and Katie, as Jeff and I grew up on the same block, he was bigger, more popular and more joyful than I was and I valued having a friend like that to help form my early years. I hope you will remember him for being that kind of person, as I will. You are in my prayers.
Jeff was an outstanding human being. Great competitor and athlete. Always a gentleman, ethical, intelligent, and kind. We lost a special person who enriched so many lives.
Dear, Terry Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Terry will be dearly missed and I know his passing will be very difficult for you all. Know that with time the tears will come less easily and maybe less often. It is difficult to lose someone we love no matter when it happens. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
With my deepest sympathy,
Lisa Reid
Our sincere condolences to the Terry and Conley Families.
So saddened by this news. Your family is on my heart and in my prayers. May God grant you peace as you remember special times you had as a family, and the new memories you will make. husband/father.
My sincere condolences to all who know and love Jeff Terry. Jeff and I were the youngest sons of Connie (Terry) Kramer and Roger Terry brother and sister. We are first Cousins. As kids we were partners in mischief and bore a great resemblance to each other. We lost touch for many years due to life’s many diversions and geographical dispersement. Fortunately, Anne (Terry) Conley connected us again a few short years ago, and we we’re able to catch up, meet his beautiful children and his lovely wife. For this I am grateful. No words can express how I feel, however, upon reading these messages from so many people whom Jeff touched there lives, I’ve come to know him even better. There is greatness here in his legacy. A legacy you’ve all written. His loss to each of us is deeply felt and somewhere, somehow, something beautiful will come from all this. Adios my partner in mischief! Give uncle Rog and Aunt Mary Lou a hug from your cuz. ❤️👍🏻 🙏🏻
We were absolutely devastated to hear of Jeff’s passing. He was our son’s only principal at Bristol for 9 years and he really loved “Mr. Terry”. Jeff’s love for kids and generous spirit will having a lasting impact on this community. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Terry family. May you rest in peace Mr. Terry/Jeff.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. When I heard this devastating news my mind flashbacked to when the two of you where engaged and how excited you were to look for rings! I hope you will be able to find comfort in all the wonderful memories you created in your life together. My deepest condolences to all of you.
To Mr. Terry’s family, please except our condolences on your terrible loss. He was Principal to our children and we all remember him fondly. Always a smile on his face and a ear to listen to everyone.
My condolences to the family of Jeff. He was such a vibrant person. I was lucky to have taught him and he was so respectful, caring, diligent and had a great sense of humor. And after I retired I got to be greeted so warmly by him when I subbed at Bristol.
My thoughts to Anne, Jay, and , and Peter. Family obligations prevent me from attending the memorial. Hopefully times such as this only strengthen the love you have for one another.
Terry Family – I was a state trainer who worked with Jeff over the past six years. I was saddened to hear of his passing. He was loved by his staff and by the students. I enjoyed seeing him twice a year to do surveys with him and his staff. In my opinion, an outstanding principal with positive integrity. The entire family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Jeff was a wonderful principal to my children. He was kind to all. Please accept our condolences. He greatly influenced the Bristol community & we will always remember him.
This is one of my favorite poems about death. Thought I would share with you
Remember Me..To the Living, I am gone;
To the sorrowful, I will never return;
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
And to the Faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity
Remember Me
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts and your memories
Of the times we loved, the times we cried.
The times we fought, the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me…I will never have gone.
