Tribute from Dale Hawkins –
So sorry I can’t be there today to farewell Terry. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know Terry. He was a part of our family forever. He was always welcoming and interested in our goings on. Deepest sympathy to the Gardiner extended family. He will be sadly missed.
Love from Dale
