Sydney
It’s with a heavy heart I have to announce the sudden passing of my oldest brother, Terry on Friday, February 21, 2020 at home in Sydney.
Born on April 19, 1959 in Toronto, Terry was the son of the late Calvin and Carolyn Martell.
Terry had a big heart and always wanted to help those in need. In his younger years Terry was very involved in the YMCA and became Aquatic Director of the Northside Pool. Later he spent some time in Edmonton Alberta. He then came home to help our parents run the family restaurant “The Brigadoon” and continued to work in the food industry.
Besides his parents, Terry was predeceased by his uncle, Nelson Martell. He is survived by brothers, Kevin, Michael, and Adrian (Helen) and myself, his only sister, Anita (Ian) McVicar; niece, Taya (Chad) Alexander; nephews, Colin and Sean McVicar; uncle, Adrian (Joan) Martell; aunts, Estelle ( Stan) Reppa, Anne( Julie) MacNeil, Rita (Robert) Marshall and Bev Martell; as well as many grand nephews, nieces and cousins. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Loaves and Fishes, Cape Breton Mental Health, or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
A celebration of Terry’s life will be held at The Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church St.) Whitney Pier in the All Faiths Chapel on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 2 p.m. with Kevin Head officiating. Private family interment will take place at a later date.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care & direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of MARTELL Terrance ‘Terry’ Matthew 2020..
