condolences to family and close friends, Terry (Moose) did a lot of sign writing on retail shop fronts businesses I use to own in Mildura and Red Cliffs. I only had to tell him the name of the business nothing else and then left Moose to do the job, then after he finished I took one look and the finished art work and would be blown away with the end result he artwork was brilliant, gifted and talent personified. RIP my friend.

To Cassandra and family, me and my family were shown around your husband’s amazing art and museum in the late 1990s. I was a teenager and captivated by all the amazing art, motorcycles and other gems. A sincere lovely guy moose was. Our deepest sympathies from the Dyer family.

To Cassandra and family,
There is nothing that can be said to make things any better, but please know we are thinking of you all, and sending love.
Find joy in your memories.

To Cassandra and family,

My deepest condolences on the passing of Terry. His love and devotion to his family will always be remembered. He leaves behind a wonderful legacy of artwork throughout the district, a lasting reminder of his extraordinary talent and generosity. We will also fondly remember his skill in riding and restoring motorbikes, and his deep love of music.

Missed but never forgotten, mate.

We knew this day was coming but you never want it to eventuate. I had the pleasure of knowing Terry ‘Moose’ McGowan for more than 55 years. We sat together at the Mildura High School distracting each other with our classroom clowning around!
He was a humble, outstanding contributor to the community of Sunraysia on so many levels. To his family my deepest condolences. Vale Moose RIP

RIP mate we rode our shovels and rode them hard cheers to you for your friend ship and the miles we rode my condolences to Cassandra and family love and respect forever Kiwi Geoff

Irymple Progress Association are deeply saddened by your passing Moose. You brightened the world around us and that brightness lives on.

Some of the hardest things in life is to know what to say in times of such great loss. Moose was such a good mate from our young years riding at the salt lakes (pretty sure we were supposed to be a school) to Miss McDonald regretting why she sat us both together in class. Such precious memories. Our love, support and condolences go to Cassandra, Travis and family

Dearest Cassandra, sharing my deepest condolences at the recent passing of Terry. Thinking of you and your family at this time.

Best of mates from the age of 14. A joy to be around, loved getting into mischief.
Condolences to Cassandra and family

To Cassandra, Travis and your family. Moose was a good friend of probably 30 years or more and we are sincerly indebted to Moose for the assistance he gave to our son Sean in his short speedway career.
I am so glad I was able to catch up with him at the Mildura Speedway in January this year.
R.I.P. Mate

You motorbike riding and art work back then was spectacular and only grew as you did
You will be forever missed Moose and always remembered Moose Not only for your riding ability and Artwork but for being such a genuine person ….
I will miss you Moose as will everyone who’s life you touched along life’s journey

Deepest condolences to Moose’s family.
May he rest in peace.

We didn’t know Moose well, but he made us feel connected and valued through our visits to arrange his artwork (donated) for the Cullulleraine Music Festival site map.
He always acknowledged us by name no matter where we met thereafter.
I felt so privileged to attend his service today, and hear of the wide and considerate contributions he made to not only the Merbein community- but to all in the Sunraysia district.
Moose had such strong family values, so very evident in the love and respect shown today.
Ride on Moose. No more pain.
Deepest condolences to Cassandra and the wider McGowan family.

Moose was a very humble man who had little to give but gave it all. I will treasure his memory in all the art work around the community, especially the tank mural in the Merbein Library’s courtyard.
Deepest sympathy to Cassandra and family. x Julie Peebles
