Terry was born August 13th, 1945, in North Battleford and grew up on the family farm with five sisters (Doreen, Joyce, Jeanne, Wendy and Sharon) and one brother (Dale). He attended the University of Saskatchewan and graduated in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture of which he was very proud. It was at this time that he married and started his family. His first job was with the Wheat Pool as a farm service manager that took him to many locations spread throughout Saskatchewan. In 1981 he took a position with the Department of Agriculture in North Battleford where he built a house and raised his family. In 1988 he became part owner in Green Acres Fertilizer where he worked until he retired on permanent disability from his symptoms of multiple sclerosis. In 2006 Terry and Thelma moved into North Battleford and in 2012 Terry moved to River Heights Lodge as his symptoms from multiple sclerosis progressed.

Throughout Terry’s life his greatest enjoyment was spending time with his extensive extended family, usually this included hunting and fishing. He was an avid outdoorsman and pursued his interests in spite of multiple sclerosis.  Also, he immensely enjoyed his substantial involvement in the Lutheran Men’s Ministry. Terry was a lifelong reader with his favorites being accounts of historical events. As his symptoms advanced his love of spending time with his family and friends never waned. Many of the hours would be passed playing crib or watching sports on television. Curling and baseball were his favorites.

Remember him with a smile today,

He was not one for tears

Reflect instead on memories

of all the happy years.
