Days after losing Terry, his widow Janet received a letter making an offer of compensation – far below the amount the couple had claimed. She describes the offer as a "slap in the face," and says it's prompted her to share their story publicly for the first time. Terry used redundancy money to take over the Hockley Post Office in Stockport in 2005. But less than two years later he was suspended for alleged shortfalls.

So sad to hear this news. Nick was a powerhouse of Welsh political journalism who was extremely generous with his time and knowledge. Thinking of Nick’s family and everyone who was lucky enough to work with him.
We are deeply sad to hear about Nick’s sudden passing. Having joined HTV Wales in 1988,he played an instrumental role in shaping our political coverage since the early days of devolution. A friend & colleague to so many of us, he'll be very much missed. https://t.co/waUd08pOgT
