A post from a Memeber of the excellent Minder.Org website ;
Local Notes;
There was much sadness in the local area on Sunday
with news of the sudden passing of popular local man
Terrence (Terry) McCann at the age of 74.
A native of the area, Terry was a successful and highly
talented boxer in his younger days and was tipped as a
future British champion before injury cut short a highly
promising career. He retained a lifelong passion for the
sweet science and his words of encouragement and
advice were much sought and valued by any aspiring local
fighter.
Football was Terry's other sporting interest, and he was often
to be found at Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge on
alternate weekends. Only days ago he had celebrated
the Cottagers' promotion to the Premier league.
Terry was employed for many years with the local firm
of A.E. Daley Ltd, chiefly in the motor and general
wholesale trade departments of that concern. He would
regale any company with the often hilarious escapades
he enjoyed in his time with the firm.
He will be remembered as a friend to all, always ready
with a sympathetic ear and a helping hand to all who
needed it, without seeking anything in return. Terry will
be sadly missed by his many friends in local sporting
and business circles, The Winchester club, and the community as a
whole.
Rest in Peace.
