It is with sadness that I note the recent passing of Terry Dotson in December, 2024. Terry was a hard-working individual and veritable "fountain of knowledge" person who tirelessly serviced the entire CAD community. Terry built and maintained an impressive technology portfolio and his talents and skill-sets will be missed.
Thank you, Terry, for the insights, knowledge and wisdom you shared with and imparted to me.
Cordially,
Ladd Nelson
Carlson Software
I continue to use his CAD tools almost everyday. Sad to here. PIP "program in peace".
Oh man, I'm really sorry to hear this. We used his tools alongside Carlson for many years. Perhaps he'll now enhance the mapping process of the heavens.
I just saw this in the latest Carlson news email. Terry helped me multiple times over the years, and I use Toolpac every day. RIP. Please keep it going Mr. Nelson.
RIP Terry
Ahh, man. RIP, brother. You're a light to the world and your big handprints will carry your character with us for decades and beyond. What a legend.
RIP. He was always extremely helpful and polite. I still use his software to this day.
