Terry worked hard and played harder, having a variety of jobs between Castor and Consort, before settling in Consort to raise his family and work in the oilfield.

Terry was a true sportsman, playing hockey and ball well into adulthood and then taking on the world of curling, winning many a bonspiel. He also coached many of his kids’ ball and hockey teams. He was also an avid hunter, fisherman and outdoorsman - he lived for September 1 when hunting friends would “migrate” with the birds to Castor and Consort for the season. Coming from around North America to join Terry for what he loved most.

Through sports and hunting, Terry made many friends. Nights were spent telling stories, playing cards (particularly crib).
