Terry was a kind and generous soul and had such a strong spirit. He loved to chat, and could strike up a conversation with just about anyone. Terry loved to drive, and loved music. He found treasures in everyone's junk, as he was the ultimate recycler. He also loved movies, and he loved to lend a hand to anyone who needed it; although he wasn't the handiest of men. Those who really knew him, know he was the breaker-of-all-objects, but they also know he was a major healer-of-the-heart. He was a constant defender of the underdog. No matter how Terry felt, he would always put on a brave face and say "I'm fine." Terry had many jobs over the years; he was such a hard worker. He worked as a janitor, gardener, and security guard, but his favourite of all was working with NL Farm Products. He always spoke so kindly of the staff and the people he met throughout his time there. Terry was one of the best, and our hearts will forever grieve his loss. Until we meet again.

"I love you with all my heart"
