Poetic Obituaries: [Sabrina Hess] and others said [Finn] Terry

was a sixth-grader at da Vinci Arts Middle School. He was on a swim team, liked to play the Wii video game system, played basketball with neighbors and loved his theater and dance classes. He sometimes wore a hat with a propeller on top. At Friday's talent show, he read a poem about love and received a standing ovation.

His theater teacher, Tom Beckett, described Terry as the kind of student who makes his profession gratifying.
