Dear Sue & Kellie and Leanne, Melanie and David. It is difficult to find words to express the saddness we are all feeling at this time. Terry's passing has been a shock to us all. We know it will be such a challenge for you to find positives during these next few days and weeks ahead. However please know and accept the support that we all want to provide to you. We as family stick together during difficult times and be assured that will not change. Sue, there are so many positive aspects of these past 30 years with Terry and I know you will cherish these forever. although to numerous to mention, some are: your many fantastic trips, the many homes you created together around Ontario, our times together on Morrison Lake, our wonderful time together in Calgary and touring through the Rockies. The "Bunny" & Hetero story will be one we laugh at for years. You and Terry had a bond that many couples wish they could achieve. He was truly a devoted husband and father. We will all miss Terry and we will be there for you as you continue on this journey of life. Sue, you have an incredible inner strength that will get you through these challenges. As said before you are one tough broad! Today and tomorrow will be really difficult but as a family we will make it and celebrate the life and love that Terry brought to you and this world.

Aunt Sue, Kellie, Melanie, Leanne and David; We are truly shocked and saddened to hear of Uncle Terry's passing and would like to express our sincere condolences to all of you. Your dad was such a great man. Whether it was debating Tiger vs Jack, out on the links enjoying another game or relaxing at the cottage, Uncle Terry had a passion for golf, Morrison Lake and most of all his family. We can only imagine how difficult this must be for you all. We hope that you find courage and strength and know that Terry will always be in our hearts and memories. 'Keep it in the short grass Terry.'

~ Mike, Kathleen, Fionn and Caitlin Kelly

Sue, Leanne, Melanie, Dave and Kelly. So sorry for your loss. I remember the first time I met Terry; selling girl guide cookies with Leanne... Such a long time ago! Keeping you all in my prayers. Love T

~ Tara Davenport & Family

Aunt Sue and Kellie, We are very saddened by the loss of Uncle Terry. It's so strange to see his face in the picture above and to know that he is gone. That warm smile will be forever missed but the endless fond memories with Uncle Terry up at the cottage will never be forgotten. Morrison Lake won't be the same without him. We are so very sorry for your loss and are keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers. Take comfort in knowing that he was greeted in Heaven by the family that went before him and that he now joins them as another angel to watch over you always. Looking forward to seeing you and giving you both big hugs. Xo

~ Alicia and Rod Nixon

Dear Sue, Kellie & Family; Im so very sorry for the loss of Terry. Im thinking of you and sending a big hug. I remember Terry as such a kind and gentle man, I always enjoyed my conversations with him. May the many wonderful memories you have bring you strength and peace in your hearts. My condolences, Sarah.

~ Sarah Wittmann-Ralston

Aunt Sue and Kellie... I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Terry. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through right now - I've been keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to giving you a big hug tomorrow when I see you. Terry will be deeply missed. I will always remember how much he loved golf. Playing or watching the game, he had a true love of the game and you could always see a spark inside of him anytime he could talk about it. It was always a connection we shared, and I am glad we had something like this in common. It was always evident how much Terry loved his family. He was a proud and loving husband, sharing a spiritual marriage, and many partners never get the chance to experience love like this. Kellie - he was such a proud dad. He was always so incredibly proud of you and all of your accomplishments and I know he'll always be by your side as your number one cheerleader as you go through life with Jeff. I know the last few days have been very difficult, and I know the next few days will be equally as tough for you both. I wish you all of the strength in the world. We love you. Laura & Chris 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.

~ Laura (Kelly) and Chris Ouellette

Dear Sue, So very, very sorry to hear of your husband's death. My prayers are with during this difficult time. Be strong...........I know you can. You and I go way back at Nortel and I know what you are made of.

~ Louise (Harding) Lanthier

Sue, Iam very sad to hear of Terry's passing. I car pooled with Terry from Milton to Markham for several years before my retirement in 2005. I know Terry was also looking toward to his retirement and spending time at home and driving his Sebring Convertible. Sorrow will be replaced by fond memories. My condolences.

~ Karl Waltz

Dear Sue and Kellie, No words Colleen and I can offer, will lessen the pain that you feel in your hearts. Everyone could see that Terry adored and cherished you both and he will continue to be a presence in your lives because of the memories you will always carry with you of a very good husband and father. After shedding a few tears on Friday night, I began to think of some of the fun times being around Terry, which typically involved a golf game and how he would give you that "I am better than you" smile when he collected his winnings or we had to pay for his beer. Sue, when you need to find a memory to make you smile and laugh again, remember the summer night on the porch at my Mum's cottage, when he and I got into the rye and gingers. We drove that "train" all night with Terry going "Choo, Choo-oo-oo the train is leaving the station" every time I poured him a drink. From that time on, all Terry and I had to do was look at each other and go "Choo, Choo-oo-oo" and we would both start laughing. He always told me it was one of the funniest nights of his life. Take care.

We know you are going through tough times and this will surely test you determination to go forward but please know that there are may people close and far away that are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

~ Vaike Rannu

I had the pleasure of meeting Terry at the Small Business Credit Centre in Markham. We quickly bonded due to our unique but similar sense of humour which gave us many happy and unforgettable moments during the eight years that I worked with him. As we car pooled daily to and from work we would often pick up his daughter Kellie from school. I could see it in his eyes, she was the light of his life. I was also fortunate enough to meet Terry's wonderful wife Susan, whom I know he cared about deeply. Susan and Kellie, I am so sorry for your loss, however, I will always remember the laughter that Terry brought into my life. He will be greatly missed.

~ Dennis Wilson

Kellie, Kellie, you are a vibrant, strong and caring person. Our thoughts are with you. Our support and love are with you and your family, Christne & Matt

~ Rita & Don

Sue and Kellie - I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear husband and Dad. I had the pleasure of working with Terry for a number of years and I have many fond memories of those times.

Dear Sue and Kellie I was so sad to hear of Terry's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Terry off and on for probably 20 years.
