I knew Terry from the early 1970s when he started carrying out repairs to my cars and those of my staff. We also knew each other through the sea out of Brighton Marina, me on top and him below. Additionally, he used my estate agency to sell his property.

In April this year I was in the U.K. and visiting Bolney Industrial Park where Terry had his repair workshop and where I spent much time rebuilding a vintage Jaguar. No one I spoke to had heard of Terry so I presumed he had closed down years before. Little did I know he had been lost at sea months earlier.

My sincere condolences to Brenda
