It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Terry Teruo Shishido on September 14, 2017 surrounded by his wife and two sons.
He will be missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Beth, sons Craig (Jasmine), Todd and grandson Austin, who brought him great joy. He was also survived by his brother Eric (Maggie), sister Ruth (Paul) Beday, brother-in-law Keith (Glenda) Jones and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Terry was predeceased by his father Masae, mother Miyoko and his in-laws Norman and Margaret Jones.
Terry was born October 3rd, 1944 in New Denver, B.C. In 1947 the family moved to Japan and a year later moved back to Kamloops.
Terry was well known in Kamloops for his athletic abilities particularly in hockey and baseball. Growing up he played minor hockey in Kamloops and continued to play for various teams including the Kamloops Jr. Rockets, Cranbrook Royals, Quesnel Kangaroos, Salmon Arm Aces and concluded his hockey career with the Oriental Express Oldtimers hockey team.
In 1976 he married the love of his life Beth and raised two sons.
For the last 27 years, Terry faced serious medical issues with quiet grace and dignity.
The family would like to thank Dr. Terry Simpson and Sue, Dr. Servaas Swart, Erin and Dominique and the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and all previous caregivers for their compassionate words and care.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 23rd, 2017 at 1:00 pm at the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kamloops Brain Injury Assoc., Canadian Cancer Society or the Kamloops Hospice Assn in memory of Terry would be greatly appreciated.
