A sad loss for our community. Terry was immensely knowledgeable, always willing to share his understanding and experience with others in a scientific and rational way.

Oh that is sad news. He will be missed. I only recently got to know him. He was most generous with his knowledge.

I don't have much to say other than it's a huge loss to the family and wider community, and that I should have tried harder to visit him and his collection last year. Sad day.

Dreadful news. Sincere condolences to Jennifer.
I never had the privilege of meeting Terry but he was extremely kind to me and very helpful with advice and encouragement over the last few months.
A great loss to us all.

Dreadful news, Terry contributed so much to our hobby and was so helpful to us all. My thoughts are with Jennifer.
I used to say to him that I always read 'Terry's words of wisdom' on the Forum each morning. It's really sad to read this.

I never met Terry 'in real life' but he was immensely kind with his time and advice on here and via the BCSS Q&A he did.
I am shocked and saddened and it's very sobering news. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
