Terry was born in 1947 in Petrolia, Ontario. He was raised in his beloved Corunna where he and Bonnie settled to raise their daughters in 1980. He loved his truck, fishing on Manitoulin Island, his florida holidays, the St. Clair River, writing poetry and entertaining his friends and family with his many jokes in the kitchen his brother built for him. His wife and daughters are taking great comfort in the fact that he probably is flying down the Florida intercoastal 80 miles an hour on a cigarette boat with the sun shining on his tan face, free from pain and suffering. Friends will be received at the Knight Home, 588 St. Clair Parkway, Corunna on Sunday from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. where the funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday. Interment Moore-Union Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy friends who wish may send memorial donations to the St. Clair River Trail, the Sarnia Humane Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundations, Knight (519) 862-2845.
