Loving father of Lisa and Stu, Mike and Jody, Krissy and Sandy, Julie “Bean” and Rob. The best Paw to Tone, Jesse and Julia, Dylan and Trista, Timmy and Kyah, Kobe, Kahner, Sandy “Bossy” and Ashley, Paige, Lil Rob, Lylah and Rowen. Proud Great Paw of Jaidence, Jerran, Leo, Honee, Maevis, Carmen, and Oakley. Predeceased by parents Fred and Maida General, brothers Dave (Rock) and Tony (Laurie). He will be missed deeply by his siblings Lorne and Linda, Pat (Lynn), Debbie, Wayne and Wanda, Wanda and Seymore, Bob and Flo (Wade). Son in law to the late Stan and Alice VanEvery.

Terry was a skilled tradesman in framing and plumbing. He had a passion for his work and enjoyed renovation projects as well as large scale new construction in Canada and the U.S. In his later years he became a dedicated, proud member of the Six Nations Elected Band Council to serve the community he loved for numerous years.
Terry was known to most family and friends as “Humpster.” He enjoyed playing and watching hockey, baseball and golf but especially had a passion to coach each sport as well. He loved being outdoors, fishing, boating, gambling and any social gatherings. He never turned down the chance for an adventure near or far. He was always here for a good time.

Condolences to Terry's immediate family and to his extended families.
Terry and his siblings were all skilled athletes and No. 8 school always could count on them to put our school in good standing in intercooler games. Terry will never be forgotten by us old guys at Sour Springs Corner.

Condolences to Terry’s whole family. When he
was chair of the SNEC Health Committee he
worked closely with the admin team in the
development of much needed health programs.
He was instrumental in helping to secure
our ambulance service! He presented the
case for the community need before a provincial
standing committee and was successful.
We got the ambulance service approval that day!
We all know how critical this service is to our
Community. His caring showed through always. RIP
