Our heartfelt sympathies extend to Terry's whanau over the loss of this great man. He was many things to many people and to those fortunate enough to call him a friend as I have been, he was fiercely loyal. His achievements have been many, but his pride was always in others where he celebrated their achievements be they big or small, more so than he would his own. We have been blessed with his company and will treasure these memories for ever.
