Terry indeed was a veryb good man!
I knew Terry and his family when they lived in Kamloops. That was back in the 60s. I used to babysit Tracy Mark and Jay. We were in the same congregation and even back then they were like family.
When I graduated from school in Kamloops, it was at a fork in the road of my life. I was tempted to move to Calgary to be with a friend who really wasn't good association. The other path was to move to Prince George. It was the right decision as Terry called me up and invited me to stay with him and his family per period of time.
I really enjoyed the fun times with Terry and his family, especially the conversations at meal time; It was hard for me to keep up with Terry's jokes and foreign accents. He was truly a charismatic man.
Well, when Terry wakes up, he is going to bring us back his 'gifts' and his wonderful personality.

Condolences to the Coventry family! I remember cooking herring roe and he took a nap after eating seafood at our place on Ahbu street, he thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful, reminiscing about traveling up and down the west coast delivering literature to villages/reserves one can only get to by boat. Loved all his storie.

Condolence to the family. I do remember like it was yesterday when l met Terry for the first time in 1982 in PG when he came knocking on my door. What a great brother, father, friend & elder he was, poor Terry studying with me almost twice a week especially as l was learning to speak english...properly. I'm sure Terry would loved to see the end of this system of things. He will be anxious to know what happened when he wakes up. Well for all you, dear friends, we haven t seen for a very long time , l say "hang in there"
Looking forward to see again one day

Terry was my friend for over 50 years. I have many fond memories of our times together. He never stopped being in touch with me, until recently. Terry was also a good friend to my Mom and Dad. I am very sad to hear this news. My deepest condolences to Evelyn, Kirk, Mark, Jay, Tracee, and their families.
