I have known Terry for 32 years as a university colleague. Managing budgets and finances for universities is a complex issue and a demanding task particularly when government funding is decreasing. Through that network colleagues often compare notes and I always found Terry to be ahead of the crowd in coming up with innovative budget strategies. He was a great example for all of us. Sincere condolences to Irene and family. - Posted by: Denis Bérubé (University Colleague) on: Oct 15, 2015

Terry was our neighbour at Echo Bay. We spent many good times at the cottage and remember the adventerous trips to Ash Rapids restaurant. Diane and I travelled to Australia with Irene and Terry and had one of the most incredible vacations! The Falconers joined us in Parksville for a month (not as warm as Australia), but good company always prevailed. There are numerous memories that shall be cherished forever. Terry will be joining his good friend Diane in heaven. - Posted by: Bud Ulrich (friend) on: Oct 15, 2015

It's difficult to sum up Terry in just a few words. A great spirit, a voice of reason, a sense of humour and a no-nonsense approach. Our condolences to his Irene and his family. He will be sadly missed. And the world will be a little smaller without him. - Posted by: Jannine LeMere (cousin and co-worker) on: Oct 15, 2015

We met Irene and Terry in the 70s when our lake gang bought p455 and discovered the eagle and 8 of us crossed the bay to build our cottages . I often phoned Falconer's and asked for " the Brain " when one of us had a problem ( usually Ken ) .. Terry was always available to help and usually could solve the problem based on past experience. Terry loved Echo Bay but his most treasured possessions were obviously Irene , Andrew, Jamie, and Robbie - he was lucky to have them and their families around most of the summer...for 35 years .... And we were lucky to have him as a friend and neighbour. Dee and Kelly, Greg, Grant, & Darren and families. - Posted by: Dee and Kelly (Echobay settler) on: Oct 15, 2015

I had the pleasure of working for Terry from 1995 until his retirement at the University of Manitoba as well as a support for the Winnipeg Rh Institute Foundation until 2012. Terry was an incredible Vice-President and had a wonderful sense of humour which made my job so enjoyable. I know he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Irene and family, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Rest in peace my friend! Carroll and Doug Perich - Posted by: Carroll Perich (Past Employee and friend) on: Oct 14, 2015
