He graduated from the University of Calgary in 1972 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. During his time at the university he also played hockey with the Dinos where he was an All-Star and major athletic award winner. It was during this time that he also met Glenda and they married. After school Terry transitioned into a variety of successful business opportunities, including running his own small business for over two decades. Terry was a humble, thoughtful, compassionate man who was always quick with an encouraging word and a genuine smile. How can we ever forget his eternal optimism, unfailing positive attitude, pragmatic wisdom, and quiet sense of humour? Terry loved life and knew how to enjoy its simple pleasures and to make those around him feel valued and special. He was a great Dad and proud grandparent and actively enjoyed racing the city to various arenas and dance recitals watching his grandkids perform. Terry also enjoyed the opportunity to travel, and in particular to Palm Desert and Scottsdale to golf and read by the pool, and to Disneyland where he got to be a big kid himself. Terry was a caring and loving husband, supportive father, doting grandfather, proud brother, kind son, and loyal friend who will be painfully missed and lovingly remembered. A family service will be held. Terry was a proud supporter of the Calgary Food Bank, the Salvation Army, and the Mustard Seed.
