It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of
Terrence Peter “Terry” Horne on Thursday, June 2, 2022, in
Eastern Memorial Hospital, Canso. Terry was born on December 21, 1948,
to the late Harry and Lucy (Keefe) Horne of Little Dover, NS. Left to
mourn are his devoted wife of 52 years, Marg (Richardson): his beloved
son, Donnie, Lower Sackville and Ann Marie O’Handley (Rick)
who he considered a daughter. He is also survived by his brothers,
Cyril (Sandra), Westville; Paul (Lorna), Canso; Gary, Little Dover;
his brother’s in-law, Clair MacDonald, Little Dover; Enos
Richard, Canso; and Pat Richardson (Gail), Dartmouth; sister in-law,
Maryann Horne, Antigonish. He will also be dearly missed by his many
nieces, nephews, godchildren and some he considered his honorary
grandchildren. Besides his parents he was preceded by his sisters,
Phyllis MacDonald and Anita Richard; his brother, Ronnie, Kevin in
infancy and his in-laws Don and Minnie Richardson.
Terry had a few professions in his life, from store clerk,
potato farm labourer, taxi driver and carpenter/construction worker.
He had a great sense of humour and always had a joke or two for
whoever would listen. He loved The Beatles, NASCAR, and Hawaiian
shirts. He was gifted at many crafts especially woodworking, he made
wooden urns for many friends and family members, including his own. He
was incredibly generous, often giving away most of his special crafts
that he created. One of his favourite places on earth was his
“hut” in Ketch Harbour off Little Dover where he loved to
spend time with his brothers and great friends and he also loved a
good game of cards.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held in Dennis
Haverstock Funeral Home, Canso from 2-7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.
