It was very sad to learn of his passing! He had a fascinating, public service career as a police officer and volunteer after retiring. He was a great man and good friend.
Terry was a wonderful, kind and gregarious man. He will be missed.
He was a good man and will be missed.
Terry was one of the most dedicated police officers. I met him as a St. Louis Police Cadet in 1973. He had an impact on my career and life trajectory, It was nice to see him in our retirement years and we all missed him at our weekly breakfasts after he became ill. Thank you Terry for everything you have done for so many police officers for so many police department during your instructor years at the police academy. Thank you for your public service. Rest in peace. I’m sure traffic will be flowing more smoothly up above. All who knew you will miss you.
I knew TERRY WIPPLER the best in the last 10 years. He joined LegalShield and I was his senior Director. He was one of my most dedicated associates always working, always attending all the meetings and he loved to tell stories. We had many outings together lunches, and business presentations.. Terry will be missed. He was always willing to help anybody that needed a hand up or some information.. God Rest Terry, you are now with our Lord, 🙏
Will miss your funny stories, Terry.
God speed!
Terry was an asset to the St. Louis County Police department. I did not have the pleasure of working with Terry. I always admired his knowledge of many topics and how he helped to improve the department. He was always friendly.
