With deep sadness we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather Terry Andrusky.
Terry passed away peacefully surrounded by his immediate family after a 12 year long battle with cancer.
He leaves behind his devoted wife of 46 years Georgette, daughters Lorie Andrusky (Al Wilkins) of Thunder Bay, ON, and Tessa Kirinic (John) of Calgary, AB, as well as son Paul Andrusky (Joanna) of Leduc, AB, grandchildren Danielle Andrusky; Max Kirinic; Courtney Kennedy; and Kalyb and Sonya Andrusky.
Terry is also survived by his sister Patricia Oja (Garry); mother-in-law Gabrielle Parker; sisters-in-law Doris Danelisky and Valerie Gilbert;brothers-in-law Guy Parker (Elador); Don Parker (Dale); Larry Parker (Karen) and Gord Parker (Lorraine), as well as numerous nieces and nephews, family and friends.
Terry was predeceased by his parents Mary and Paul Andrusky, his sister Darlene Andrusky, as well as his father-in-law George Parker and two brothers-in-law, Donny Danelisky and Sheldon Gilbert. Terry was very well liked and respected amongst family, friends and co-workers. His brothers and sisters-in-law considered him a true brother as he grew up with all of them from the young age of 12.
Terry was blessed with an infectious sense of humor, which he managed to pass on to his children and his grandchildren. He was also a kind and caring man.
Terry enjoyed watching his Bruins and playing different sports. He also enjoyed keeping up with his children and grandchildren. Most of all he enjoyed travelling to the states with the love of his life, Georgette. He began his career at the Provincial Papers at the age of 17, married at 19, and a father of three by 24.
Terry worked hard for 40 years to ensure a good life for his family which he continued to do long after his retirement in 2006.
He will be loved and missed by every life he touched. As per Terry`s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service. Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpler Times Cremation Centre, 332 N May St. The family will hold a mass in Terry`s name at a later date.
If friends so desire, donations in Terry`s memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or St. Joseph's Hospice.
