Terence Patrick Cookson

Also known as "Terry"

17 March 19326 December 2024

Born March 17, 1932. Terry slipped over the horizon for the last time peacefully in the early hours of December 6th. He was a much loved and loving husband to the late Emily, adored father of Susan, Michael, Helen, Jo-Anne, Gillian, Carol and Paula, and will be sadly missed by them, their partners, his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His memory will live on through his large loving family, the people he touched and the beautiful boats he built, and we will find glimpses of him in the sea and sky that he so loved. A celebration of Terry’s life will be held 3pm Friday 13 December 2024 at The North Harbour Chapel of Dil’s Funeral Services, 185 Schnapper Rock Road, Albany.
