Uncle Terry, visiting Oak Park is not the same without you there. You could always make me & Dean laugh. You told me things about my Dad I never knew for which I will always be grateful. Like Josh said you had plenty of stories. We loved each and every one of them, especially how you met Auntie Margaret. Now you can talk to her instead of about her. Thank you for the memories. God Bless, RIP xx. Thinking of Tracy & Alan, Steven & Sharon & their families x

A true Yorkshire gentleman. 🤍 Terry, your kindness, warmth, and impeccable manners were a credit to you. You always had time for everyone, and your gentle nature left a lasting impression on so many lives. If everyone had your kindness and respect for others, the world would truly be a better place. Sleep peacefully, Terry. Goodnight, God bless. You will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Thinking of all your family at this difficult time. 🤍 xx

How lucky we were to have you in our lives. We thank you for encouraging adventure and curiosity, instilling work ethic and discipline but most of all the beauty of story telling. You leave us with a wealth of tales which will be retold and passed on. I’m sure Grandma was waiting, bag in hand, ready for your next chapter. Love you x
