Terence (Terry) Michael Williams

Date de décès : 11 janvier 2014

Passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2014, Terence (Terry) Michael Williams (aged 69 years) of Hockley Valley, ON and Bay Bulls, Nfld. Terry leaves with loving memories his wife of 44 years Jeanette (nee Nagle), his daughter Deidre, his son Michael (Yuko), and his much loved grandchildren Yui Clare, Naoto Patrick and Takao Timothy. Terry was predeceased by his infant son Sean and parents Bette and Mike Williams of St. John's, Nfld. Also left to remember their brother are sisters Michelle Sullivan (Kevin), Megan Hunt-Walsh (Sonny) and sister-in-law Bernice Nagle. He will be remembered with affection by his nieces and nephews Adam, Sarah, Jessica and Rebecca Hunt, Colin and Claire Sullivan. Terry attended St. Bonaventure's College and Memorial University in St. John's and Queen's University in Kingston. He began his professional life as a 2nd Lt. in the Royal Canadian Engineers of the Canadian Army and as a professional geoscientist. After moving to Ontario he continued a sucessful career as a professional engineer in the mining industry and, later, in the environmental and nuclear fields for Ontario Hydro. Throughout his life Terry was an enthusiastic and committed community member and father, volunteering his time as a navy cadet instructor, Boy Scouts leader, member of the Rotary Club International and in the Catholic Church. An avid outdoorsman, Terry enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and community efforts to return blue birds to southern Ontario. His love of creating with his own hands is evidenced by his years as the operator of a traditional-style maple syrup sugar bush in Elliot Lake, the lovely home he almost single-handedly built in the Hockley Valley, his handcrafted Newfoundland dories and his ever-bountiful garden. A patriotic Newfoundlander, Terry carried a love of the music and culture of his home to the mainland and learned to play the Bodhran as a retirement project. He was happiest when he returned every summer to jig cod in his Boston Whaler surrounded by friends in Bay Bulls harbour. Above all else he was a devoted husband, father and a very, very proud grandfather. The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home Baxter & Giles Chapel, 273 Broadway, Orangeville (519-941-2630) Friday afternoon 2 - 4 and evening 7 - 9 o'clock. Memorial Mass will be held in St. James Colgan, 2118 Adjala-Tecumseth Townline, Colgan on Saturday morning, January 18 at 11:30 o'clock. If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca) or the charity of your choice. Condolences for the family may be offered at www.EganFuneralHome.com
