I am so sad to just now hear of Terry's passing, and more sad at the thought he was in the Oshawa area, where I live myself, I remember the day Terry and his parents moved onto Southmead Rd, Scarborough, 6 doors away from us. My brother Norm and sister Marilyn all remember him well and we did a lot of playing in those days (I think I was about age 11 at the time). Never did cross paths again.
I am so happy he enjoyed a wonderful family life all these years.
To his wife, Diane and family, I can only say that I have always respected Terry as a person, and do not fear, the Lord will turn your immediate grief and suffering into long happy memories. Terry will be watching!

Through this time of sorrow may you all find comfort in remembering what a truly wonderful man Terry was. As husband, father or friend he could always be counted on. Terry's quick wit was always at the ready and I have never been in Terry's company without a good hearty laugh. What a gift it was to have him in our lives. He will always be a precious part of your memories and will live on in your hearts forever. With our deepest sympathy.

May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten
Terry always called me his "brown daughter", and I referred to Terry as my "2nd Daddy". He was always there to make me laugh while I went through my difficult times. He will be missed tremendously and I have felt blessed to have known a wonderful person like Terry.
May the comfort of God help you and your family during this difficult time
