To cherish his memory, Terry leaves his wife of 24 years, Judy, his children Danny (Denise McCabe) Carroll, Michael (Diane) Carroll and Laura Caroll,grandchildren Miranda and Maria Carroll; his sisters Pat (Rod) Haddad, Helen (Glenn) Gruber and June (Jerry) Jubinville, and his brother Earl “Bud” (Shelly)Wilton. Terry will also be sadly missed by his mother in-law Helen Magee, brothers in-law Bob (Leslie Carr) Magee and Pat (Beth) Magee, sister in-law Nancy (Tom Derkson) Didier, his many nieces and nephews and lifelong friends. Terry was predeceased by his mother and father Doris and Earl Wilton of Logan Lake B.C. and his father in-law David Magee of Squamish, B.C. Terry was born on July 31, 1939 in the small town of Galt, Ontario. After the war, his family moved to B.C. where he spent many happy childhood years in Surrey, Allenby and Hope. Terry continually challenged himself in many ways during his life: riding motorcycles, flying airplanes, skiing, boating, playing guitar, singing, charcoal sketching, curling, bowling, hunting and lifelong education. He was a past President of the Eagles Lodge in Hope. He moved throughout B.C., working for the railroad, mines and sawmills, and then finally settled in Kamloops. Terry worked at the Kamloops Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill, first as a millwright and then for many years as a maintenance supervisor, until his retirement after 25 years. He spent his retirement years hunting, ATVing and camping with his many close friends, and renovating the family home. Terry could make or fix anything. He was a proficient electrician, machinist, plumber, metal worker, welder and woodworker – you name it, he could do it! He was always helping his friends and family with whatever was needed and Terry was more than repaid in kind by the incredible and unwavering support of his family and friends during his illness. Terry’s quiet demeanour, steadfast character and wonderful sense of humour earned him the love and enduring respect of his family and friends. Terry loved life and in keeping with his incredible strength of character, Terry fought hard for his life, right to the last. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.” Terry’s Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 11:00 am in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel.

Terry was predeceased by his brothers Jamie and Russell, father Earle and wife Joanne. Terry‘s life was filled with laughter, excitement and love. He lived life on the edge seeking new adventures and friendships. Terry spent 20 years helping challenged and disadvantaged children supporting and encouraging their special talents. His gift of laughter and acceptance was his great strength in helping others. He was an incredibly talented musician and writer producing his first record in Masset B.C. in 1979, followed by many CDs over the years. At the age of 37 he found a home with A.A. This gift extended his life by 21 years where he healed, loved and shared his gifts of laughter and caring. Terry’s gift of music brought many to his life’s journey. He had a light hearted view of life and was most happy when playing the guitar, riding his motorcycle, and soaking up the warm rays of the summer. Terry loved children and pets and was seldom seen without his favourite canine companion Mary.
