Dear Joan, Jen & Hugh, My brother Peter called from Miramichi N.B. with the sad news of Terry's sudden passing. My heart goes out to the O'Connell family. You are in my thoughts. The last time I saw Terry was at Uncle Jerry's wake & before that at Betty & Jerry's anniversary celebration. Terry was attentive, friendly and, he had family tales to relate, in a humourous way, that I had not heard. We talked of life in Collingwood, golf, sailing & winters down south. Terry was our suave, handsome, outgoing cousin. I remember his great smile and laugh. He was a people person and each conversation with him was a pleasure. Joan,I remember your wedding 47 years ago & together you have created so many precious memories. What a wonderful,handsome couple. Growing up, we loved to hear Aunt Evan's stories about Terry, eg. his Britannia Yacht club sailings or his job on tour boat excursions on the Rideau Canal. People were attracted to Terry because he had a special quality of making others feel that what they were saying & doing was of interest. One summer, mom & dad rented a cottage outside of Ottawa. I cut my foot on glass at a nearby beach & Terry carried me all the way back to the cottage. How caring. Mom & dad always talked fondly of Terry. This weekend we will attend my grandson Nathan's First Communion. During the mass, I will be thinking of Terry and family and I will keep you in my thoughts and prays during this sad time. Love to all.
