    Terry Firman

    Not sure how many knew Terry Firman. I think he was a member on the board, however I cannot remember his nickname.

    He peacefully passed away on Wednesday Feb 3rd after a brief illness. The online obituary can be found here - http://www.legacy.com/can-ottawa/Obi...onId=139417075

    He will truly be missed on our tour. As a friend, a golfer and a true gentleman of the game.
    My condolances and thoughts go out to his family.

    I played golf with him last summer in the NCGT. What a gentleman and nice guy. So sorry to hear this.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    I am so sad to hear this news. I played with Terry on the NCGT last summer and he was a really warm, encouraging and classy playing partner. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

    I'm certain he will be missed by all who knew him. One of the nicest, kindest people I ever met. Always competitive, but never without a smile or a kind word. A true gentleman. Rest in peace Terry. My heart goes out to your family.

    Terry was the first fellow I met playing on the tour, he was very helpful and friendly to a complete stranger. It is sad news indeed, my condolences.

    Wow -- I didn't know

    Sorry fellas -- I just found out this morning...

    I first met Terry at the office. We have played every summer since --

    Why just a couple of years ago, he got me into a Malone trip in May.

    But the best -- was seeing his face after he missed the opening event on the NCGT -- His son had contacted no_back to tell him Terry wouldn't be at the event -- The family had planned a surprise 60th birthday for him. After initially worrying about not playing the event, he was overjoyed at the party.

    You'll be missed -- Brother Firman.

    Yes -- a true gentleman.

    Don

    A fair Wind

    A sad farewell to Terry who was one of the first guys I played with on with NCGT and always enjoyed playing with when we did .... Terry was also a club maker and did some work for me and always done right .... So may your sails always be full and a fair wind at your back .... Rest in Peace Terry ....
