He was predeceased by his wife, Caroline Beer, his parents, William and Lucy Chaplin, his brother William (Patricia), and sisters Rita Harnett (Joseph), Annette Saunders (Robert, deceased), and Joan Marie Dunn (Gary, deceased).
Terry spent many years of his work life as an electrical technician and worked in the Northwest Territories on the D.E.W. Line, but was most proud of his work with Memorial University as a visual editor with Educational Television (ETV), where he retired after many years.

Family and friends loved gathering at his house around the kitchen island for some good chats. and great laughs. He will be missed by so many.
