Terry treasured spending time with Erika and his family at their cabin in Elkwater. They also traveled numerous times to Europe and Hawaii during their 46 years together. Terry and Erika made many wonderful memories on their 6 week motorhome trip through the United States and Canada in 2013. Terry was very involved in his children’s lives and always supported them in their endeavours. He also so adored his four grandchildren and was often affectionately known as “Grandpa Bartsy”.
