It was our privilege to have Terry as a friend and a family member. He never came empty handed for dinner (pie was a favourite), was gracious company and never left without sharing a funny story or a corny joke! We will miss him dearly but are comforted in knowing that he is pain free and that his spirit lives on in his grandchildren.

Dear Nancy and family; Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for your great loss. Although we haven’t seen Terry is quite some time, we think of him often. There is actually an old picture of the staff at Hy-Way Collision in our office and it reminds Brian of the good old days working with Terry. His laugh was contagious and he always had a joke whenever he stopped by.
