"Terry was part of a family that loved him and will treasure the memories that he left. Evelyn and Maurice (his parents), brothers Rick and Bob, all had the opportunity to share in Terry's life. Other people in Terry's life also got to know him in various different ways. His honesty, kindness to others, great love for animals and his dedication to his mom and dad and especially to his brother Bob. Terry also played a big part in my life, from the time he was born right up to adulthood and in the past 15 years. We corresponded on a regular basis. His penmanship is something to be admired, especially compared to my scribble. A side of Terry that many did not know was that he had a talent for drawing, writing, gardening, carpentry, fishing and yes, he was also inventive. Terry was a true friend to many people, but in my case he was my nephew and will be sadly missed. Love you! Aunt Bea." Mass of Christian burial was held Thursday, November 30 at 11:00 a.m. from St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Ceylon with Father Brian Meredith celebrant. Interment followed in the Ceylon Cemetery.

Active pallbearers were Doug Sorsdahl, Gilbert Verbeurgt, Melvin Gust, Rick Eeckhout, Bob Eeckhout and Jim Stevenson. God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you, and whispered 'Come with me.' So when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, free from pain, we could not wish you back to suffer that again. Arrangements in care of Hastings-Dionne Funeral Home Inc., Weyburn.
