Terrence O'SULLIVAN Obituary

TERRENCE JOSEPH O'SULLIVAN 1947 - 2022 Terry died peacefully on August 19, 2022. He is sadly missed by his wife of 40 years, Corey Simpson; his daughters, Claire (Michael Martinez) and Maura; his sisters, Maureen (Vince Sguigna), Joanne (John Routh) and Erin (Richard Windolf); his grandsons, Lucas and Nicolas Martinez; and his many friends. He was predeceased by his loving sister, Nicole (Gordon Paul). Terry grew up as part of a warm and lively family in Campbellford Ontario, where he played hockey, baseball and several other sports - plus a lot of pranks. He found fun in most everything he did. Terry practiced law for almost 50 years, building a storied career and legacy of mentorship. He appreciated having the opportunity to represent a broad spectrum of clients, many of whom became friends, in all levels of court including, on numerous occasions, at the Supreme of Canada. Terry's enthusiasm for life lifted us all and his trademark wit made us smile. He cared deeply for others and over the years he generously gave his time and leadership talents to many good causes including the Advocates' Society, the Women's College Hospital Foundation, Toronto Rehab Institute, and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Foundation where he volunteered for many years, even after his cancer diagnosis. Terry's love for his family was limitless. He supported and encouraged them at every turn and took great pleasure in spending time with all his relatives on family trips, on the golf course, watching the Blue Jays or just chatting on the porch. He was very proud of his daughters and enamoured with his grandsons. His affection and regard were similarly extended to his many dear friends. We wish to thank the health care providers at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center and Princess Margaret Hospital for their skillful and compassionate care of our beloved Terry. The Campbellford memorial gathering will be held at Weaver Funeral Home on Friday, August 26, from noon to 2:00 p.m. The Toronto memorial gathering will be held at the Arcadian Court, 401 Bay St. on Thursday, September 8 at 11:00 a.m. Masks are requested. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Terry's memory to the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Foundation. The Toronto memorial gathering may also be accessed via live-stream at https://youtu.be/eNITyeF3cCA

My condolences to Terry´s family and friends on this huge loss. Terry was a kind, generous person who was a mentor to many in our profession. I only worked with him a short time at McMillan Binch as a student before he left to launch Lax O´Sullivan but ever since then, when I saw him he was warm, funny, and always kinterested in my career. When my father passed away last year, he sent me the most touching handwritten note about him. I hope you find comfort in knowing what a huge positive impact he had on the legal community and all who knew him.

We were very sorry to hear of Terry´s passing. Our parents were very close friends of his, and our families were together often when we were young. While there are many stories that we repeat when we think of the O´Sullivans, the main one, which I happened to have recounted to my granddaughters this morning before I read the Globe is of the day that Terry´s father helped our father save our mother from drowning at the Crowe River Weir Dam - save for O´Malley we wouldn´t have been here today.
Our Heartfelt condolences to the O´sullivan clan.

A class act. He will be missed. Terry was the first person I went to when looking for a new firm after many years and his advice was spot on and delivered with his usual sense of humor and intelligence "You might have to empty the dishwasher from time to time (especially if you have a partner like Cliff) but a small firm is liberating and rewarding"

Terry was larger than life at work and at play. Whether he was coaching young associates at McMillan Binch, contributing to a worthy cause, or tearing up the dance floor at Fall Convention, he demonstrated his passion and commitment to excellence. An amazing person who leaves an indelible legacy.

I knew Terry as a colleague for some 20 years. His outlook was always positive; his humour infectious. Terry was an amazing lawyer and even greater person. We will all miss you. RIP, you giant. Family: be strong, knowing that Terry made a substantial contribution to so many people's lives.
