Obituary of Terrance "Terry" Booth

Terrance "Terry" Forster Booth, born May 17, 1942, in Rouyn, Quebec, peacefully passed away on October 26, 2024. He was a devoted husband, a cherished father, and a passionate athlete whose love for hockey defined much of his life.

From the age of 10, hockey was Terry’s great passion. He travelled the world, playing the sport he loved and garnered numerous awards throughout his playing career, including four Ontario Championships and the title of MVP while playing for the Buchans Miners in Newfoundland. In 1978, he proudly represented Team Canada Old Timers winning the championship. Terry retired from competitive hockey in his 50s.

Professionally, Terry made his mark early, becoming the youngest foreman at Niagara’s Ohio Brass at just 25 years old. He transitioned to a successful career in sales management for local automotive dealerships before pursuing entrepreneurship. He opened several businesses, including an automotive shop, a security systems company, and ultimately, One Stop Fireplace Shop.

Terry met his beloved wife, Rita, while working in the automotive industry, and they were married on December 26, 1988. He is survived by his treasured son, Rob (Samantha), and their children, Grant and Marlo. He is also survived by his brother, Rod. Terry was preceded in death by his father, Lawrence; mother, Thelma; sister, Moira; and brother, Jack.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Terry enjoyed boating on the upper Niagara River, the Kawarthas, and Finger Lakes, as well as golfing and motorcycle trips to the East Coast and Tennessee. He was known for his dedication to his family, being a fabulous husband and a devoted father.

In keeping with Terry’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and arrangements are entrusted to Essentials Cremation and Burial Services. A celebration of Terry’s life will be held at a later date, with details to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Niagara Health System.

I meet Terry as a young boy as he was a friend and customer of my father. Terry was always a kind and upbeat person. He gave me needed advice during my minor hockey days that I continued to pass on to
Other goaltenders.
