TUCKER, Terrence William Terry Tucker

It is with great sadness and much love in our hearts that we announce the passing of Terry Tucker, at the age of 78 years, on August 28, 2025, at Hospice Niagara in St. Catharines, peacefully, surrounded by his immediate family. Beloved husband of Janet (“Jan”) for 55 years, devoted father to Emma (Mark) and Rachel (Ernie) and adored Poppa to Joseph, Dylan, Jack, Charlie and Zoey. Terry will be remembered as a loving and kind soul, courageous and optimistic, who enjoyed his British comedies and telling a good joke.

Born in 1946 to parents Nellie and William, and brother to John, he immigrated to Canada from England in 1953. He grew up in Toronto but travelled back to England in 1969 where he met his future wife, Jan. Married in 1970 they settled back in Toronto and later raised their two girls in the suburb of Thornhill. Terry worked in the energy industry for the latter part of his career, and in 2001, settled in Niagara-on-the-Lake for his retirement a few years later where he and Jan made many new connections. Together they travelled in their retirement to places throughout Europe, especially falling in love with Ireland along the way.

The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at the Stabler Centre, Dr. Cameron Phillips, Dr. Steve Durocher, the Shoppers Drug Mart NOTL family, and many friends that have supported Terry and his family during some of the most difficult yet most beautiful moments over the past months. In keeping with Terry’s wishes, cremation has taken place. If you wish to raise a glass of Guinness in Terry’s honour, the family will be at the Sandtrap Pub & Grill in NOTL on Wednesday, September 10th from 11:30am-2pm to commemorate what would have been his 79th birthday. In memory of Terry, memorial donations can be made to Hospice Niagara.
