Arohanui Jennifer and Whanau.Thinking of you at this time.Fond memories of Terry and Norma always. Moe marie Terry.Ang Donaldson and Whanau.

So sorry to hear Terry has passed away thinking of Jennifer and the family. Love Erin Bill Lyford .ex kaikohe.

So sad to know you are gone Terry, but may you rest in peace. A life truly well lived but cut too short, Terry was a great mentor, encourager, and role model. Always ready to laugh, but with a great intellect and mind, he was never afraid of a challenge, but this last one was too great to overcome in the end. He will be missed. I offer my condolences to Jennifer and the family at this sad time.

So sorry to read of Terrys passing. Thinking of you Jennifer and the girls. A great colleague through PPTA and Kelston School Board. Just the best of the best and sadly taken too soon. RIP Terry

Dear Jen and family. We send you our very sincere sympathy at this time of Terry's death. Your tribute to him is lovely and recognizes his many talents and his generous and caring nature.
Although it's over 40 years since I worked with Terry, I remember well his passion for education and his fair and considered approach to bringing about change and improving experiences for his pupils. His record of hard work and commitment to many organizations tells us all that he was "a very good man."
May your many memories sustain you through the next difficult time of your life.
Love from Marg and Kerry List

So well remembered as a valued and much loved ERO colleague and friend.
I will miss you a lot.
My condolences to Jennifer and the family

In my career, I was lucky to work with some great people, and Terry ranks with the best of them for his fierce intellect and dedication to excellence. Terry demanded high standards of himself, and others, but always mixed with understanding and wry humour. He made an enormous contribution to education and I treasure the memories of our time together at Cognition Education, often in pretty challenging times. Such a fine man and outstanding leader, whom I respected greatly. I will miss our phone calls to solve the problems of the world, and will remember Terry with the greatest respect and admiration for all that he achieved. Sadly missed. Sympathy to Jennifer and the family.

To Jennifer and family
I express my deepest sympathy at the loss of Terry. A great man of the finest intellect and integrity in all of my dealings and friendship with him at Cognition Education over many years. I always respected his opinion and I treasured our annual catch-up which I will greatly miss. Rest In Peace dear Terry. Respectfully, Stewart Germann
