Obituary - Mr Terry Michael O'Doherty - 1/7/56 to 23/7/09

It is with great sadness that we wish to announce the death of one of our Company Directors, Mr Terry Michael O'Doherty, from a suspected heart failure. Terry, who ran our workshop and warehouse operations, was just 53 years of age and will be greatly missed by his family, friends and colleagues.

For anyone who'd like to leave more than kind words, you can leave a donation to Terry's favourite charity, the Great Ormond Street Hospital

Where do I begin? Terry Michael & I were together for over 25 years. We not only shared a home, we worked together every day. Treasured memories to numerous to mention, for instance our last holiday in Norfolk not so long ago.
Taking our faithful Jack Russell Radar for long walks on the beach in all weathers (& him keep telling me it's healthy)! A typical Terry experience - he decided to buy a fibre glass model of a sheep then when we got to the car with it, a wink & a cheeky grin he popped a second one in saying it would be lonely on its own. So there we were driving down the motorway, roof down, dog on my lap, two sheep on the back seat with lorry drivers pressing their horns & laughing & waving- me cringing & Terry loving it. He wasn't just part of my life, he was my life. Rest in peace my darling. You'll never be forgotten.
