Diane Babko wrote today in Facebook, "Terry Pittsford, class of 1963, who brought joy, laughter, music and friendship to many of us, passed away on Easter Sunday. John McWilliams (class of 1962) wrote these thoughts about Terry."
Terry
March 2016
The Music Man
The voice,
the wry grin
Filling the stage
With relish
Unbridled enthusiasm
The skeptical observer
Earnestly- sometimes relentlessly-pursuing
politicos and perceived scoundrels
The would-be loner
Disappearing into the woods
Or the back of his panel truck
But ever willingly
Enmeshed in Nature
Jackie Gleason, Jonathan Winters,
And a host of others
Impersonated with not so subtle grins
The occasionally almost reluctant survivor....
Then returns the artful comedian
The Music
Has left us
But surely to the delight of the souls
Who now await him
I was with Terry in the Air Force 1965
