Terry Mayers; Gone too Soon

Gone too soon;
An apt description for Terry Mayers whose funeral is today.
Terry was one of those energetic people who seemed so full of life and zest.
When you look at the multiplicity of work activities that Terry did in his short life time it almost seems as though he had somehow manage to fit the professions of several people into his one life time.

He was a journalist, a news producer and presenter, he was into public relations and marketing and the President of a cricket club, how did he find the time?
He was as adept on radio as on TV as effective doing main news as doing sports.

I had the pleasure of working with Terry when he first started radio in 1989; we did Madd half hours together on the then Liberty 98.1 fm.
Terry was always fully congruent and interactive with the comedy sketches done on the Madd time slot which show the level of his flexibility.

My lasting memory of Terry would be of him as a roving reporter on television swaying in blowing hurricane winds oblivious to the danger that existed committed to his task of reporting to viewers at home.

    It was amazing how many Bajans still wore black even though Terry stated he never wanted that, but I was glad to see most Lodge alumni and current & former CBC ppl keeping to Terry’s wishes! This is now the 4th blog to acknowledge my buddy… Bajan Global Report, B’dos Underground, here and mine… The event has put my updates askew for now… Flights of Angels, Terry!
