RIP your Duty Done.
It is with deep sadness I write todays Blog. A retired veteran Terry Firman of 33 Pl RCASC(A) passed away peacefully yesterday in Ottawa.

My wife Susan and I offer our most sincere condolances to the family of Terry. Terry and I were in the same input of the boy soldiers. He was in 33 platoon and I was in 34 platoon. After the apprentices we lost touch but reconnected through this web site. Good bye to a true friend Wayne Flaherty
Very saddened to hear of Terry Firmam's passing. Seemingly his upturn a couple of weeks ago didn't take hold. Rest in peace Terry. You've left us some big shoes to fill, but we'll try hard, in your name.
