We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Terry. It was our pleasure to assist him with computer services and electronic bits & pieces over the last 20+ years. I will miss the intellectual conversations and his quick witted character. Visiting him in his observatory will always remain a memory. Condolences from The Computer Place.

Dear Barbara and Family, we are deeply saddened to hear of Terry's passing. As you celebrate his life be comforted by the many live's that Terry has touched over many years. In Red Cross Terry was a Toanga that we will miss keenly. It was a pleasure to have met him and been the recipient of his great wisdom and sense of humour! With deepest condolences, Peter Scott

Dearest Barbara
I am saddened to hear that Terry has passed away and send you and your families
my thoughts and sincere sympathy .
As well as a huge loss for you, I think humanity is the poorer for his passing.Terry had a special mana and aura. I always admired how humble he was.He had an ability to communicate with people with gentleness,dignity and respect. His very important work with the Red Cross made a huge impact in the development of many Red Cross societies particularly in the Pacific.
May Terry rest now in peace
Our thoughts of sadness to you from Glenys and other older delegates who knew Terry .
With love and respect
