Our loving dad and biggest supporter, Terry, passed away on Wed., Aug. 15, 2012. He was surrounded by family including his two children and three sisters.
Terry Pinkerton of 100 Mile House was predeceased by his father Allan Pinkerton and his mother Christine (Shepherd) Pinkerton and leaves his son Chris (Jen), daughter Becky (Kent) and sisters: Diane (Dave), Charlene (Randy) and Robyn (Ron). Terry, known as Papa, is survived by his four grandchildren: Owen, Mason, Emma and Sophie, who loved their Papa so much. He is also survived by his best friend of over 60 years, Dan (Heather), and many nieces and nephews.
Terry was born in Vancouver, B.C., Jan. 8, 1943. For his entire 69 years of life, he was a man who would take risks, carve out his own path, and take no s*#t. These were the qualities that drove us all crazy, but were also the same reasons why we loved him so deeply. His children will remember him as a devoted father who was always there for them, without question.
We weren’t ready for Terry to go, and all those he had touched will sadly miss him.
There will be an open house on Sat., Sept. 1, 2012 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 6221 Buffalo Creek Road for those who wish to stop by.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada.
