Dear Sheila and family. I have many fond memories of your dad and your mom back when you were in London and living on Chiddington. Many fun youth group memories of them both and parties at your home and of course our famous Bayfield visit to the “ cottage”. You are your father‘s daughter and his sense of humour lives on through you every day. What a gift he has left you and the children with. A volunteer extraordinaire. He will live on in many of our hearts forever. Xo
Sheila and family I would like to offer my condolences in the loss of your father/grandfather. From all your messages that you have shared with us you had a very special relationship with Terry and now a big void in your lives. Live with your happy memories of which I am sure you have so many, and remember how lucky you are to have him as your guardian angel now! Hugs to all.
It was always a fun time when Terry and my Mom, Marg came to visit for each holiday and celebration. I am so happy Terry and Marg had lots of fun travelling together over the years. He was a great friend, partner, father and grandfather and we were blessed to have him in our lives.
