Terry was an outstanding guy in every way. I’m very sorry to hear of his passing.

I served with Terry on Okanagan in the early 70s. I will always cherish his cheerful support and unfailing sense of humour. He was a great shipmate. He will be missed.
Commodore Terence Roach AM RAN, CO OTWAY 70-72, OVENS 73-75
Terry and i were class mates at the US Naval War College Senior Course in 1980/81. With our Commonwealth ties and submariner bonds, we had much in common and got on well together. His unfailing good humour, irreverent wit and broad knowledge were always evident and made him a welcome companion and a great mate. Vale Terry.
Timothy Kramble
Terry was one of my first skippers and also one of my best skippers. He took time to educate newbies about what was going on during evolutions when preparing officers for Perishers.
He will be missed, RIP sir.

It was a great pleasure to sail with Mr. Terry Jones on the Okanagan when he was the Engineer Officer. He was a brilliant man and, at times, had me laughing so hard tears ran down my face. My condolences to his family and to all that knew him. Another great one has gone, and he will be missed. R.I.P Sir.
Michael Wood
A true gentleman with good common sense and humour at just the right moment. Sailed with him on Okanagan.

Gordon Hunter
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I sailed with Terry on the Onondaga. There is no question. He was one of the good guys

Our dear friend - a good man and a good soul with a most wonderful sense of humour. Over 7 years and 4 U.N. missions, I had the very good fortune to work, live and laugh with Terry. His dedication helped bring stability, dignity and hope to those longing for peace. Then even more good luck to have Terry and Dianne remain great friends for another 19 years.
Rest now dear friend,
Bob and Marilyn
After RMC, being in the army, I did not serve with Terry. However I had the pleasure to see him during social events/dinners of RMC Class 66. He was kind, jovial and had a great sense of humour. He will be missed you. Safe sailing my friend.
