So sad to hear about dear Terry. I worked with Terry a bit at Suncorp Group (https://www.linkedin.com/company/suncorp/)where he ran the R&D lab, and during this time he came along to linux.conf.au (http://linux.conf.au)in Brisbane in 2011 which I was volunteering at. I believe this is where he caught the open source community bug! After he left Suncorp, he went on to work on projects like One Laptop Per Child (https://www.linkedin.com/company/one-laptop-per-child/)(which I worked with a little) and Village Telco where he was very patient and helped me with all my little hardware issues. He was supportive of me setting up the Gold Coast Te(https://www.linkedin.com/company/village-telco-limited/)chspace and once came along to one of my Barcamp events - he arrived with boxes of OLPCs which we reconditioned at our Kidhack events. Terry was an amazing guy, a real giver, he always had time for you and would help anyone out if they showed a bit of initial initiative. I also really liked his plain speaking and direct approach to things, he recently he helped a friend of mine he didn't even know out with a charity project and wasn't scared to call out some poor design and get them on a better track. He was an inspiration to me and I know that his atitude to life lives on in many others.
