I was so saddened to find out about the passing of Terry. I have such great memories of him at the Parkview club and had many lively debates with him at the bar. He was a very special guy and will be missed and always remembered fondly!
My sincere condolences to you, Jan. 💕
As a 15 year old kid from Sudbury, Maple Leaf Gardens was a big place for me until i met Caff. We were the same age but he was the Man and i looked up to him for his cool leadership on & off the ice. A fierce competitor with rosy cheeks. My deepest sympathy to his family and all who loved him.
