I didn't start going to cons until after Terry's illness slowed him down, but I was on the front row for his appearance at World Fantasy Con in November 2013. I'm sorry I didn't get to see more of him. Frail as he was, on that day, he still cheerfully chatted with fans after his appearance. Now he's gone - far too soon - and even though I didn't know the man I feel as though I've lost a favourite uncle.
