In Memory Of |

Terry Horsley.

Sav Rebecchi, a friend of Terry’s got in touch
with us, he says, “We received the news of
“Terry had been admitted to hospital to deal with an infection and was due to start chemotherapy. Things took a turn for the worse and resulted in a rapid decline. He fought a good battle and was singing throughout, much to everyone's delight, including medical staff and other patients. Even in his last days everyone was touched by his good humour and beautiful voice and engineering skills to let the staff know how to run their equipment.”
We knew Terry from Radschool, we were on 62 RMC back in 1966 and then 41 RTC with him in 1967 and although we were posted to different parts of the planet after that and didn’t see each other again, he was one of those blokes you never forgot. Being a Melbourne boy he knew where all the good “spots” were and as Melbourne was in the grip of 6 o’clock closing back then, he also knew where all the sly groggers were. His favourite haunt back then was the old London Hotel in Elizabeth St where he was on first name basis with most of the staff. We remember going into town with him in his old FJ in what we reckon would have been record time – a record that we reckon would still stand today. He could make an FJ sing – though we don’t remember much of the trip as we had our eyes closed most of the way.
Sadly, God takes all the good blokes first.
Terry leaves a son Geoff, daughter Toni and partner Carolee. You can see some recent pics of Terry HERE.
