He was well respected nationally as a chrysanthemum judge and regularly exhibited with the National Chrysanthemum Society. He was National Champion for Section 2 (medium japs) several times. He was generous with his advice and very supportive to new growers.
Terry will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He leaves his wife of 61 years June, and daughters Tina and Ross, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
