Thank you for letting me know the funeral arrangements for Terry, sadly, as
we are in the middle of Lent I have Lent Lunch on that day followed by a
Lent Study course at our Church in Newbury, therefore I will be unable to
attend the funeral. Please pass on my condolences to the family. I see there
is a request for donations in lieu of flowers can you let me know the
address to which the donation should be sent. (Done)
Thanks Keri

Thks lads, tragic in the extreme
Kindly convey our deepest condolences to Terry's family.

colleagues and friends.

Please pass on our condolences to Jean and her family. Bob has recently,
the past few days lost his Dad so unfortunately he will be unable to attend
Terry's funeral.
Bobs thought are with the family and has said Terry was a good and honest
hard working man who would be sorely missed by many.

Terry was already on the RAFMS, RAF Abingdon when I was posted there in
August 1970. The Condec had just been introduced into the RAF as an MT
vehicle, and would you believe Terry was instructing MT drivers in its
operation.
We were together again at RAF Gutersloh in 1983. During that time Jean and
the girls would have a chat with Gisela over coffee, hence Gisela became
known to the children as the lady with the posh tea cups.
Ever since we have exchanged Christmas cards but, over the last 2 years we
have not had one in return. Having bought a sympathy card I was wondering if
you can confirm the following address for Jean is still current?

Many thanks for the info on Terry’s funeral. Out here in Oz I see various
messages on the happenings regarding old mates and regret that I will be
saying my farewells remotely, so to speak.
It is many years since I worked with Terry but the memory is still clear. If
the opportunity arises please give Jean, who I have never met, my
condolences.
Thanks again.

Paul English
Yet again we see the passing of a fellow tradesman.
I had the pleasure of working with Terry T on JHSU in its early days.
A sad loss is in my book an understatement in extreme. I personally found
Terry to be a firm but fair individual who would take time to "nurture" new
guys and give willingly his wealth of knowledge. It was a pleasure to have
worked with a man who was a true asset to the trade.
May he rest in peace...
Paul.
Terry Roberts
Our thoughts are with Jean and the family at this sad time I have some very
fond memories of Terry which I will always treasure. Terry taught me some
words that I did not know existed.

What sad news...Terry was always so positive and cheerful...a great man. I
doubt I can make it to his funeral but will have a look at work to see if I
can re-arrange things...but another long-shot! Assuming you are attending
and if I don't make it please pass on my regards and condolences to Jean.

Very sad news indeed – he was a great bloke and it was a privilege to know
him.
The news was passed via Tony Gale and the OBA. I have spoken to John, who
has also provided Jean’s address, that I can write a short note of
condolence.
I will be down for the funeral.

Many thanks for this information. I was very sad to hear about the death of
Terry Titterington. I don't think I ever met him but his name is familiar
and often came up in conversation. Had he been an instructor at the
movements’ school? I won't come to the funeral but I do hope he has a good
send off.
Kind regards
Brian

I did have the honour to meet Terry, as Mr Titterington, although I doubt
that he would have
Re-called me, having had to put up with so many young officers!
I remember him as being very good natured, and with a depth of experience
which we were in awe of. I am very sorry to hear the sad news.

It was so sad to receive the news of Terry's death, may he rest in peace.
He was a rare individual and always true to himself, with a great sense of
humour.
Unfortunately Patsy and I will not be able to make the funeral, because of
other commitments but our thoughts and prayers will be with Jean and the
family.
Please give my apologies to the family.

I was very sad to hear of Terry's death although I knew that he was nearing
the end. I joined the RAF as an Admin Apprentice in 1957. On the same day in
the same 32nd Entry so did Terry Turrell, Frank Thorington and Terry
Titterington. All of them went onto become Movers and I an AQM. We met up
frequently down the Route and it was always a great pleasure. Terry was a
lovely man who will be greatly missed. I will be at Kingsdown on Thursday
18th to bid him farewell. Rest in Peace dear Terry

Condolences to family I never worked under Terry, although he was a FS
instructor at RAFMS when I went through as an Op, and our paths did
occasionally cross. By all accounts an awesome tradesman, and all round nice
bloke? RIP Mr Titterington
Devastated to learn of the death of Mr T. My thoughts are with his family at
this sad moment. I was lucky enough to have worked with him for a number of
years. He was my FS at the movs school in 79, we worked together at JHSU(G)
for a few years and did a tour of the Falklands together, finally ending up
as my shift WO at Lyneham I could go on and on about what a great guy and
mentor he was, but those who knew him already know that. Most of the sadness
I feel is for those who never had the privilege of knowing him, but a little
I keep for myself. I have great memories of great guy.
Goodbye Mr T and thanks for everything.
A true loss to say the least...A pleasure to have worked with Terry on JHSU
(G) all those years ago...RIP Mr T....
