Terry retired yesterday after 38 years in the Royal Navy and 6 in the Civil Service.
The framed picture he is holding is a unique commissioned piece of art from the famed Andrew Wing, who produces cartoon collages for folk from all 3 of our Armed Forces. It has a number of drawings covering all aspects of his career.
Terry had a rich and varied time in the Royal Navy, he joined as a medic, was captured in the Argentinian invasion of the Falkland Islands, and returned 4 weeks later and took part in the conflict to retake them. He was commissioned to Officer rank and served on the UK Bomber Boats as the crews Medical Officer. Retiring from the Navy, he joined the Civil Service and I had the pleasure of working with him for the last 6 years.
I shall miss him.
I am absolutely shattered right now, but so very ad I made the effort to be at his retirement doo.
I’m sure he will miss you as well. I hope he lives close enough so you can continue your friendship seeing him on occasion. I wish him all the best, learning how to be retired takes a while.
