I worked with Terry Rigby at the Royal National Park. He did visitor services and compliance work for National Parks for quite a few years.
Always in such good spirits and was very much liked by all. He went out of his way to help everyone – colleagues and park visitors. Very sad to hear of his passing.
Cheers,
Sonia Roberts
I worked with Terry on 24/1 Ford F100 Truck, in the 1970’s. One of the best partners I had, ‘A gentleman & a Scholar of life’. He always wanted to work with me since I once, continually, threw a 6ft 4in Russian back into the ‘Dock’, during his charging, everytime he stepped out of the dock. A fellow NSW Police cyclist, whom I first met in 1967, when we were patrolling the streets of Paddington,re illegal Parking and other offences during the Royal Easter Show… Terry introduced me to ‘MUM”..a “Well to do” elderly lady that lived opposite Centennial Park, in a Mansion, and just loved to entertain young leather clad, NSW Police cyclists. ‘Mum’, had an ongoing, all day, lunch, in her backyard, for all Police cyclists, so that she catered for all ‘Meal Breaks’………… God Bless you ‘Mum” for your kindness, and revealing to us the joys of 1930’s hospitality…! Praying for you Terry..and when you arrive in the Promised land please pray for me..Love you, Mate… above is a Pic Of Terry Rigby with Dana Jennings 2008 at Bulli Pass Lookout..!

It is with sadness that I inform members of the passing of Terry Rigby.
Terry has been a stalwart of the Branch and a person who was always there with a friendly smile and a “how are you mate” whenever you saw him.
He is someone I held in high regard and I felt in awe of the way he continued his battle with cancer and fought so hard during his illness.
Terry was someone to respect and admire.
Due to the Covid restrictions there are limitations on the number of people who can attend and this is the latest information on Terry’s
Memorial Service.
The Service will be at South Chapel Woronora Cemetery on Monday 31st August at 12.00pm
- At the request of the family no motorbikes.
- There are 47 people to be allowed in the Chapel and this is by invitation ONLY.
- There are15 spots for Branch members outside of the chapel on the forecourt and must be requested from Terry’s daughter Sharnay on her mobile ( contact Cal if you need the number ) by 12.00pm Friday 28th August if you wish to attend.
- People attending from the Branch are requested to wear Branch clothing as a mark of respect.
- Anyone planning to attend get there early.
- Social distancing must be adhered too and masks are recommended.
Terry will be sorely missed by all in the Branch and to Lorraine and their family our thoughts and respect go out to you in this very difficult time.

I knew Terry well from our 24 Div days, a good cop and a great fellow, Rest in Peace Terry. That cancer is a scourge, I lost my wife to it only a few months ago.
