I am extremely saddened and shocked to see this page that Dr Brian S. Terry passed away 3 years ago. I feel that I must write something to remember him as my graduate study supervisor who had helped me so much nearly 40 years ago. I was his first and probably the only graduate student from China at Imperial College. Dr Terry did his best to secure continued funding which enabled me to continue my DIC research work to Ph.D project. DR Terry was my major supervisor along with Professor P. Grieveson and I had so much help and guidance from him over the years until I successfully completed my Ph.D/DIC degrees. He was always caring for me in academic research and making sure I had good living conditions by offering me research assistant work and extended his hand whenever I needed. In addition to my time at Imperial College, Dr Terry also found a post-doctoral opportunity in Glasgow for me through his connections when I was planning to return to UK after a couple of years of working overseas. He provided a reference letter for me when I applied a permanent job in W Midland which I worked for 9 years before transferring to USA.
Sometime around 2018, I saw his profile on Regent’s University website when doing a search of published papers. Now over 20 years in USA and retired I was thinking of sending a thank-you-from-bottom-of-my-heart note to him, I suddenly saw this page announcing his passing away in 2020, my heart is so heavy! I want to thank Dr Terry for, without any exaggeration, his kindness and actions over the years that changed the life of myself and my family including my children.
I cannot find enough words to express my feeling and gratitude to Dr Terry, he’s such a good gentleman! My belated deepest condolences to his family and will always remember his smile, NE England accent and unreserved helpfulness. Dr Terry will be missed by his many students and friends.
Thank you again, Dr Terry.
