Born on October 22, 1925 to the late Thomas Montgomery and Ella Fry, Terry was predeceased by his wife Isabella (nee McIntosh), and his sister Sheila Donelly. Terry is survived by his daughter Diane (Lou), grandson Terence Asselin, granddaughter Nicole Stewart (Tony and son Noah), and great-grandchildren, Isabella and Riley. Terry joined the Navy when he was 17 years old and was on the HMCS Orangeville which escorted ships that shipped equipment from St. John's, Nfld. to Londonderry, Ireland during the Second World War. He returned home at the end of 1945. He worked for Marshall Wells Hardware and the CNR before joining the Winnipeg Transit System until his retirement at age 58. Terry started as a bus driver and worked his way up to retire as the Chief Supervisor. He was instrumental in the start-up of the Handi-Transit and Dial a Bus Services Upon retirement he moved to Pinawa, Manitoba where he spent 30 summers golfing and fishing and 30 winters as a winter Texan in Magic Valley Park, Weslaco, Texas. He loved to talk and joke with one and all and he will be greatly missed. He was a dad when you needed a dad and a friend when you needed a friend. He was a gentleman, volunteer, role model and mentor. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the staff of Tower 4 at Deer Lodge Centre and special thank you to recreation worker Robin for all the enjoyable outings.
