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

It was with great shock and sadness that we heard of the sudden death of Terry Michael.
Terry Michael was always busy in his workshop, fixing things or creating wonderful props. He was such a character - genuine and friendly as well as always being helpful and interested in how the film was going. It was a pleasure to work with someone who had such enthusiasm, who took pride in his work and was so skilled at what he created and did so in a good-natured way. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with Terry Michael and those who loved and worked with him.
