Robert Terence McGee
Robert McGee Obituary
Robert Terence McGEE
1933 - 2025
Terry McGee passed away peacefully at the B.M.P. Hospital after a long illness. Terry was born in Three Rivers to Bob and Ethel McGee, but spent most of his younger days in Verdun with the larger McGee clan. With great pride all around, he was the first in his family to attend university (B. Eng McGill '55) which led him to a long and successful career at Imperial Oil.
Terry was above all a romantic adventurer, who was happiest paddling his canoe (he owned six of them!) with wife Jean down the Allagash river or up north in a quiet lake among the loons. When winter arrived, he and Jean spent countless frosty mornings whipping down the slopes at Mt. Tremblant. Even into his 80s he could be seen making his effortless turns at Sun Peaks.
A long-time resident of Knowlton, Terry was active in the local theatre and for years worked to provide wellness services for his fellow citizens.
Terry's humour was legendary, even when times were tough. In his last days, his unique Irish wit had both staff and family in stitches. He led a life of integrity that is rare in our modern day.
He loved his sons Michael (Donna) and Mark (John) completely and without condition. He equally cherished his grandson Cameron (Rachel), granddaughter Lisa (Tyler) and great-grandson Cailean.
A small family gathering presided by Rev. Tim Wiebe took place on July 31 to mark his passing at the Anglican Cemetery on St. Paul Road. A memorial celebration of Terry's life will be announced in the near future.
