Bob, Gillian, Lesley and family, So sad to hear that your Dad passed away. I remember when I was on my first flight with my family to Disney, your Dad surprised us by arranging the pilot to call upon us on the intercom to come up and view the cockpit during the flight ( back when we could). So nice of him to do this and to this day it is a fond memory as a child. May he rest in peace.

My sincere sympathy goes to Terry's family on your loss. What a fine gentleman he was! I never flew with Terry....our paths crossed many times through the pilots golf tournament. Terry was very helpful to me when it was the Toronto committee's turn to run the system golf final in Vegas. I did not have much of a clue what issues might crop up with this event or how to run the Calcutta. Terry skillfully guided me through it all with his trademark gentle good humour. We saw each other many times after that in flight planning and at the golf tourneys. I am not surprised to read accounts here of how good he was to fly with. From one golfing pilot to another ....thank you Terry for everything. Sincerely yours, Andy Baker

Terry and I were in the same Air Canada course in August 1966. Always enjoyed his smile and laugh when we met in crew rooms and layovers over the years. Sincere condolences to Terry's family and all his friends. Jim Peirce

So sad to hear of Terry's passing. A great aviator to fly with and he passed on many words of wisdom to new AC pilots. My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Terry's family as they deal with his loss, and remember his life with fondness. I had the sincere pleasure of working with Terry at Air Canada for many years, primarily on the Boeing 727. Like on the golf course, the flight deck of an airliner, gives the true measure of a person. You get to see that person as they really are. After a game of golf, the debrief of the round with a suitable beverage is eagerly anticipated, and my many debriefs with Terry after a days work at the airline, were always enjoyable. I remember him with nothing but respect. Sincerely, Kim Sharpe Qualicum Beach

My sincere condolences on your loss of Terry. My husband Brian and I met Terry at Breezy Bend close to 30 years ago. Goodie was an air traffic controller at the area control center and there were many great stories shared between the two of them. Now perhaps they are playing golf together once again.
