Terry Snee OAM, former leader of Nautilus Federation affiliate the Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers (AIMPE), has passed away following a short illness.
Mr Snee represented AIMPE at a number of early meetings of the Nautilus Federation, working with director Mark Dickinson. He also worked with Brian Orrell, former general secretary of Nautilus International, and Peter McEwen, former deputy general secretary.
Reflecting fondly on their work together, Mr Dickinson said: ‘Terry was an uncompromising Yorkshireman, never afraid to speak his mind, but importantly he had an inner compassion. No one could say he was not a passionate advocate for Australian marine engineers!
‘He was a long-time friend of Nautilus, he very much lit the spark for the Federation, and will be greatly missed.’
AIMPE federal president John Hartree said: ‘Terry was AIMPE president for 25 years from 1993 to 2018. He led the union through difficult times and handled many industrial disputes.
‘Terry was a man who didn’t back down and fought forcefully for what he thought was right.’
