TERENCE SCOTT BUCHANAN

Terry grew up on Ferry Road in the St. James area of Winnipeg. He was the fourth son born to proud parents, Bud and Ruth. He lived his life in and around the area until his passing at the age of 74. He was pre-deceased by his parents and brother Daniel.

Mourning his passing are his wife Judy, his daughters Heather and Erin (Scott), and his son Scott (Alyssa). He was also the most amazing Papa to three beautiful grandchildren; Danielle, Dane, and Benjamin.

Survived by brothers Gerry (Lynda) and Ross (Beverly), brothers-in-law Randy (Janie), Lorne, and Shawn (Theresa), and numerous nieces, nephews and their children.

Terry didn’t venture too far from home in his younger years, but was bit by the travel bug in 1989, when he got on his first flight to Waikiki. That trip sparked a desire to go on yearly vacations, including warm winter all inclusive getaways, cruising the Caribbean, a trip to Europe and eventually leading to snow bird winters spent in Florida.

Music was a lifelong passion and one of the few things he did just for him. Endless hours spent playing his guitar, learning the chords and lyrics to new songs whenever they had a melody that spoke to him. Though it was not a common occurrence, it was always a treat when he could be convinced to play for others. He enjoyed music of all genres, frequently marvelling at the talent of his favourite musicians.

Health was a must in his life. He thoroughly enjoyed being active, particularly as he got older. Golfing, kayaking, fishing, bowling, pickleball, hiking, walking and running were some of his favourite activities. He was dedicated to his fitness routine which he felt was necessary to balance out his love for dark chocolate and bacon.

Terry retired from Chrysler in July 2008 after 32 years. He worked at the Parts Depot where he enjoyed the physical labour and camaraderie that came with the job.

His 18 years of retirement were spent enjoying life his way, on his terms. He always had a strong work ethic and that did not diminish in retirement. His efforts just shifted to things that brought him more personal satisfaction. His desire to help others was apparent through his willingness to lend a hand whenever needed. It was always a welcomed sight when he would show up with his tools in hand when a project was on the go.

Terry was a private, quiet and solitary man by nature. He loved his family deeply and would do anything for them. He gave his all in everything he did. He will be remembered forever with pride, love and admiration.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all of the special, caring, and compassionate people who helped and cared for Terry.
