So sorry to hear that Bryant (BT) passed away. I called this cell  several months ago and Marcie advised of his condition. Buying racks from him while at Phifer led to knowing him as a good friend. 
Our time in business was forth while but socializing over many good meals plus golf and always talking Bama football cannot be measured. On behalf of everyone at Phifer especially Myself Jake Wood, Ron, Woody and John we offer our heartfelt condolences to Carolyn, Marcie and his entire family. Time spent with him will always be remembered.

I met Bryant almost 40 years ago as a very "green" sales rep and Bryant was assigned to help the ripening process. I will always remember his many sales tips, but one sticks out - on a sales call with Bryant, I was clearly a bit intimidated , and Bryant said" just remember, they put their pants on the same way as you do"- a valuable lesson I carry with me to this day!

BT, known for his quick wit, encouragement and advice, was larger than life, master salesman, great family man, this worlds loss Heavens gain!

I started my career in sales at EBSCO working with Bryant. He taught me many things. We had good times at the New York trade shows. He introduced me to New York Cheese cake. Years later I went to different company and i would run into Bryant at the Home Depot Plan-O-Gram room. Many time we went head to head on the same projects. The competition was always fun. I will miss you Bryant.

Met Bryant at Vulcan I thought he was mean at first found out he was a big ole teddy bear. Met Ms. Carolyn and she is such a sweetheart whom Bryant loved and it showed. He found out my grandson was an Alabama fan and took him to his first Alabama game with all the perks. He will forever be in our hearts. Rest In Peace to a great man🙏🏽 My Deepest Condolences to Ms. Carolyn and family. Cheryl Brown and Jakelvin Jones💔💙

Everything I learned in life regarding International Travel, Pina Coladas, and “Contels”, I learned from my Uncle Bryant (aka Bryant “Hot Hands” Terry 😂). The impact he made on all our lives was as big as he was! He will be missed every day but will live on in our hearts forever. ❤️

We all lost a friend with Bryant’s passing, my condolences to Carolyn, Marcie and the entire Terry family. I had the privilege of working with Bryant for 18 years prior to my retirement 9 years ago. When I joined EBSCO/Vulcan I was a mere neophyte in the industry and Bryant took me under his massive wing and taught me as much as I could absorb about our business and also about great southern cuisine. I will always remember our road trips to Georgia and this one little gas station he would stop at, not to fill up with gas but to buy two plates of fried chicken gizzards that we would enjoy on our ride along with his special bottle of hot sauce that he would constantly carry next to his drivers seat. His generosity and ability to engage you in conversation was truly a gift that will be missed by all that knew him. Rest In Peace my friend!

My Daddy was larger than life. From his stature to the way he cooked; everything was BIG. He taught me to stand up for myself and the ones I love, defy stereotypes, think for myself, and not be afraid to ask for help when I need it. The time I had with him was just not enough, but my biggest sorrow is that my sweet Livy Claire will not get to know her larger than life Papa the way I knew him. My Daddy would give you the shirt off his back (as well as a lesson in how to earn one for yourself). His heart was probably the largest part of him (and that's saying a lot; did you ever see those hands and feet?) He will be missed every minute of every day.  He has left a huge void in so many lives but I know his legacy will be carried on by the people he touched. Thank you Daddy for the best 43 years of my life!

I’ll never forget when Uncle Bryant met my new boyfriend (now husband) Jeff for the first time. He took Jeff — an Auburn graduate x2, from a family of Auburn graduates! — down to his Bama Man Cave for a good hour. He made sure Jeff saw and understood the social and cultural significance of every piece of memorabilia! Aunt Carolyn and I couldn’t stop giggling.

Bryant was a bright light and will continue to be for eternity!  I enjoyed his banter with my Olivia over who made the best desserts!  

He will be greatly missed and my prayers and good thoughts go out to Carolyn and Marcie and your entire family.  I love you all!

Bob and I were so sorry to hear of Bryant’s passing and are praying for Carolyn and Marcie. We have sweet memories of cheering the Tide with Bryant, especially in Arizona at the National Championship.  Our dinner atop the mountain there will always be a favorite memory with Carolyn and Bryant.  Prayers will continue…

Bryant was one of the most thoughtful and generous people I've had the pleasure of knowing.  We worked together for more than twenty five years so it was so hard to learn that a man who I teased that he a memory like an elephant would have no memory in his waning years .  It broke my heart for him.  I know it had to be difficult for his wife and daughter to watch their rock slip away.  My love and prayers to you both.  God bless you.
