I was so shocked to hear the news. My thoughts that morning of his children and the family he left behind. My deepest condolences to those who will miss him the most. I feel very blessed to have known him. Terry was one of a kind, always laughing and telling us stories at work. He spoke of Sean with such pride and excitement. He was always there to lend a helping hand, offer support and advice. He will be missed.

I wasn't going to write anything in the guest book but after seeing everyone's comments about my brother, Terry, I just wanted to thank everyone for thinking of him. I know that he is finally at peace with himself.
PS: Terry, say high to Mom and Dad when you get up there.
Thanks, love Bobby

Sean:
I am so sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of your dad at the St. Francis events.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
My prayers are with you and your family.

I was shocked and very sad to hear this terrible news. Terry and I shared a condo in Beaconsfield for a couple of years way back when. After I moved to Ottawa when Brian and I got married, I was extremely pleased when he moved here a few years later. Though we didn't see each other very often, when I did see him it was like we had been together the day before. He had the kindest and biggest heart and what I remember the most was how much he loved children... Kids used to knock on the door and ask if Terry could come out to play. He was so thrilled to be a father and so proud of Sean.
Our deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends.
We will miss him.
Cathy Deschatelets and Brian Cullen.

Terry was a good friend and neighbour in the old Montreal / Winston Churchill days.
I remember especially taking him for a Helicopter ride on his birthday one year and also flying him into the Mirabel Airshow - good times.
He will be missed

I knew Terry from St. Thomas High School and crossed paths again with him after 30 some odd years. He was still the same Terry I knew from so long ago. We spent time reminicsing about old times. I had the privilege of meeting Sean who he was so proud of and talked about often. I will miss him, and I'm sure our paths will cross again.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all his family during this difficult time.
May God Bless you , and may He watch over Sean.

It's truly sad to hear of Terry's passing. I only bumped into him a couple of times after high school, so he'll forever be locked into that time for me. But, what great times!

Terry went in and out of my life for the past 35 years. I loaded trucks at Pascal warehouse with Terry in the mid 70's. We worked downtown as bartenders together in the 80's. And from then on I never knew when I would bump into him but I always did. And each time I did it was full of laughs and memories of times gone by. Don't know when I will bump into him next, but somehow I figure I will. My deepest sympathies to the family. He always had a story. Those stories will be with us forever.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Terry's passing. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Terry for several years at Pepsi, and he would drop by at the house for a cold beer, talk about the love of his life Sean, and talk about life in general. Yes, Terry you had difficult times, but you always seemed to have time for others, to be a warm gentle, caring guy. I will say a prayer for you tommorow, and I know you have found peace. There is no doubt in my mind, that there is a new angel above us all, and he will be there to guide Sean, and his family through all of this. Thanks Terry, for all the great memories....We will all miss you!

My deepest sympathies go out to Terry's family.
While I have not seen Terry in many years, he is among the list of people whose fond memories I have carried with me since my departure from Montreal.
I always liked his unique sense of humor and slant on life, somebody with whom you enjoyed sharing a cocktail or three.
So long Terry and may the warm memories of your life ease the grief of those you have touched.

Terry,
Our busy lives often result in our losing touch with old friends, however, out of touch does not mean out of mind. I have often remembered the good times we had working the downtown Montreal bar business, the time when we were roommates in Beaconsfield, and all the laughs we had together. Whether it was your crazy, entertaining sense of humour, your just plain craziness that made me shake my head, or the good times we had sailing on Lake Champlain – we had fun. You will be remembered, and you will be missed.
My deepest sympathies to Debbie, Sean, and Tara. And my deepest sympathies also to Wayne, Bob, and Janet.

I was shocked and saddened by the news of Terry's passing. Terry and I were good buddies back at St Thomas High School and we worked together as ushers at the Fairview Cinema (He got me the job). We lost touch and I often wondered where he was living and what he was up to. My memory of Terry will always be his perpetual smile and his great sense of humor. He was a great guy.

A prolonged illness prevents me from seeing you but I want to express my most sincere sympathy. I remember Terry since he was a little boy in St. Charles School and then as a teenager in High School.I met him several times since and he was always warm and friendly, giving me news of the family.
