Terrance Arthur William Way
1946-2023
Terrance Arthur William Way, 77, of Alma passed away on
February 2nd, 2023 at the Saint John Regional Hospital with his family
by his side. Terry was born in St. Johns, NL on January 4th,
1946 the son of the late Arthur and Jean Way.
Terry was an RCMP officer and served in several areas during his career of over 30 years. He was stationed in Jacquet River, Hillsborough, Alma, Grand Manan, Fredericton and Moncton. After his retirement he worked as an Enforcement Officer for the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture. Terry was an avid hunter and fisherman. He also loved cooking and gardening. In his earlier years he met and married Irene Rossiter and her family became his. They accepted him as one of their own. He was always included on the hunting and fishing trips and made many memories in the great outdoors. He and Irene had a son, Todd, who married Shelley McBrine in 1994, then the grandchildren Matthew and Madeline came along. He enjoyed hearing about how things were going and the progress they were making in their own lives. He had a special fondness for the beautiful scenery in Alma and made this his home and his door was always open for anyone who wanted to visit. Terry was very hospitable and made everyone feel welcome.
After the loss of his wife Irene in 2007, he was fortunate to find someone special, Sheila, and spend the rest of his life in Alma with her. He felt blessed to have had not one but two special relationships in his life. He and Sheila made many wonderful memories in the time they had together.
