FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.

PLEASE SEND PHOTOS AND INFORMATION TO Cal

May they forever Rest In Peace

By all accounts, Terry appeared to be a great bloke and great policeman who had the respect of all whom worked with him.

He apparently joined the NSWPF some time prior to 1978 and Served for probably 4 years before ” pulling the pin ” and working as a Psychiatric Nurse at Callan Park where he was given the nickname of “Maggots” before eventually returning to the NSWPF where he apparently Served all of his Service at Newtown and Marrickville.

Terry Retired in November 2001 and eventually he and his 2nd wife, Fran, moved to warmer climes in far north NSW.

Terry suffered various conditions which required hospitalisation. These conditions caused the removal of a leg and also the removal of multiple large skin cancers off his face.

His funeral was recently attended by around 25 of his former mates from the old Newtown Police days.

May he forever Rest In Peace.
