Smith, Terrance Garnet, age 68 of West Pugwash, passed away at Moncton Hospital of cancer on December 26, 2017. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family, having been predeceased by his parents Harry and Grace (Carpenter) Smith, and his beloved Charlie cat. Terry was very well-known in the community and except for his years in University at Kings College in Halifax, spent his entire life in Pugwash, where he either taught or substituted school from the time of his graduation until just recently. As a measure of his dedication to his work, twenty-seven of those teaching years were without a sick day. Terry was involved in many community activities, including the local Fisherman's Association, Sport Pugwash, Reach for the Top, and Canada Day, just to name a very few. He also helped out many individuals and many charitable organizations in the village and served as the village auctioneer for a number of events. Terry loved to live and spent many a leisure day throughout his life fishing, horseracing and playing cards. He was also a great supporter of all the local coffee shops and eating places, where he loved discussing all things, particularly historical. He was a book of knowledge. Terry will be missed by his cousins and so, so many friends. Visitation will be held from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Saturday, December 30, at Mundle's Funeral Home, 204 Water St., Pugwash (902) 243-2506. The funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, December 31, at Wesley St. Matthew United Church, Pugwash. Rev. Meggin King officiating. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a scholarship fund to be established at Pugwash District High School in the name of Terrance G. Smith or to any charitable organization. Many thanks to the staff at the Moncton hospital who tried to help, and most particularly, to nurse Elizabeth. Special thanks also to the people of the community of Pugwash for the hundreds of cards, letters and visits to the fellow they knew and often referred to as their "Man About Town."
