## **"Angel In The Outfield"**

Terry was a beloved pillar in the Ardrossan community, a rare gem who touched so many lives. Befriending anyone he met and always willing to lend a helping hand, Terry was someone you could count on whenever and wherever needed. Mechanics, electrical, carpentry, you name it, Terry would and could do it. 

Terry struck up a deep friendship with Brent and Jenelle and many of his volunteering hours took place at Saiker’s Acres. Fixing Zambonis, building and flooding ice, repairing wiring, and more recently working on the ball diamond, when there was a job to do Terry was there to lend a hand. If Brent had an idea, Terry was usually right there trying to figure out a solution. Terry volunteered, many times around the clock, at World’s Longest Hockey Games and Baseball Games as well as the past two kids' longest hockey games. He knew what these games meant to the fight against cancer. 

This third edition of the World’s Longest Baseball game was going to be no different as Terry would've been there for all 100 plus hours lending a helping hand in any capacity. If there wasn’t a job to do he would have been there having a beer, socializing and cheering the teams on. Even when sick in the hospital Terry still wanted to find a way to stay involved with the game. When Benny and Brent went to visit him he was still enforcing his role as project manager from his hospital bed, listing all the things that he wanted to ensure they wouldn't forget! Unfortunately, Terry lost his battle with cancer on July 21st, 2024 and for this game he’ll be cheering from above, as the 56 courageous players take the field. He will have a smile on his face and a beer in his hand, a true 'Angel in the Outfield.'
