It is with great sadness that I report the death of Terry Coles of Ipswich.
Terry was at the T.S. Vindicatrix November/December 1960.
His first ship was the Kenya Castle, he went on to sail on the Orion; Cathy; Oriana; Stratheden; Oriana, ;
Wairangi; Northern Star; Pretoria Castle; Windsor Castle; Napier Star and
Rangitane, leaving the Rangitane in August 1965 to get married to Sheila.
Terry passed away at the St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich after a long illness, on Saturday 15th March 2008.
Terry was keen until the end. He was the Founder Chairman of the Suffolk Branch MNA as
well as it's current Chairman and a keen Vindicatrix Association member.
I never knew Terry during his time at sea but was proud to support him as
Treasurer and 'Standard' Bearer of the Ipswich Branch MNA.
He will be sadly missed.
