That's a real hero. He suffered so much just to help others. Makes me cry.

[@Novaheart1998]

Possibly the greatest Canadian ever. He touched my hand running past me in 1980, I was 13.

[@user-pq8cq9cv1h]

Wow. I just drove across Canada and thought of him a lot along the way. Especially between Nipigon and Thunder Bay. I was just a 7 year old kid watching on tv from America. You’re very lucky to have had this encounter. He’s one of my greatest heroes.

[@annemadgett5197]

If he had survived, he’d be 62 now.
Rest in peace Terry.❤️
