This site is a tribute to Terence (Terry) Butcher who was born on the 26th of January 1946 in Mile End, London. He enjoyed a long and beautiful 37 year marriage to Christine Butcher and raised three children, Rob, Helen, Stuart, and a granddaughter, Sammi. Terry was an excellent father, one of those who knew the answer to everything and knew how to do just about anything. 

His strong passion for music helped bond him with Christine early in their life together. His musical interests spanned many genres including blues, reggae, disco, and metal. Some of his favorite artists included Buddy Holly, Lonnie Donegan, Tina Turner, and The Beatles just to name a few.

He had a wonderful sense of humor that can be described as dark and witty, but people warmed to this. He was also very selfless until the end; he always made sure everyone was taken care of before himself.

Terry was a hardworking man, a retired IT project manager. Terry had many interests and hobbies including watching sports (go West Ham!), a postage stamp collection and the creation and maintenance of the most beautiful garden. He also had a knack for up-cycling anything from plant pots and fences to furniture. 

He was and will remain much loved and remembered.

The family would be honored if you choose to add any pictures, leave a tribute, or make a donation to the hospice organization that helped him during his final days by using the links below.
