I remember Terry very well as smaller in physical stature, but not someone you could push around as a kid. I remember hangin' out at his house on Davies north of 4th Street. He and Dickie Myers got into cars and were very proud of their work. A good guy. 

The ironic thing is that I was just visiting Kenny Hancock --if you remember him--- at his home in Colorado. It was two days after Terry passed. Kenny and I spent a fair amount of time recalling our growing up. Terry was one who was front and center in the discussion. Funny how those things work. 

Best thoughts and prayers to his family.

Yes, I remember Terry when I met him at East Topeka Junior high school. We became good friends. However, at Topeka High school I don't remember seeing much of him. I don't have one bad thought of him. A truly great guy......

I remember Terrry Fields as a great classmate and good friend during our Lafayette Elementary School days back in the early and mid 1950s and Topeka High too. I use to enjoy hanging out with him at his house on North Davies on the weekends.  He was an intelligent guy with a good sense of humor who had a lot of friends and he sure had a good mechanical knowledge when it came to working on cars, tractors and even racing.  He's going to be missed by all who knew him.  RIP Terry.

Sorry to hear of Terry's passing.  I didn't know him up close and personal but do remember seeing him around THS during my years there.  He had that nice smile you couldn't forget.  May you rest in peace Terry and prayers to your family.
