Terry Salo was a fisherman and dedicated father. He was also so proud of his kids and often heard on the sidelines at his kids sporting events. He was the oldest of 4 from the village of Kyoquot. He lived an active life swimming, playing tennis and golf. He will be remembered for his big smile and strong character. He will sincerely be missed by his kids Natasha and Raymond, his siblings Diane, Dale and Brian and extended family and friends. He passed away suddenly with his family by his side.

We have been Terry’s neighbours since Natasha and Raymond were small children. Len and Terry spent many an hour discussing “the Market” and countless hours of tennis over the years.
He was so proud of his children, throughout their lives,choosing their career paths and successfully achieving them.
We miss his smile and friendly chats.
Our condolences to Natasha and Raymond and all his family.
I was very sad to hear of Terry’s passing. I first met Terry on the soccer field while our daughters were playing soccer. That let to a few lunches, dinners, and interesting golf games. He had a great sense of humour and always was talking about his kids and how proud he was of them.
My condolences to Natasha and Raymond on your loss.

We were very shocked and saddened to hear about your Dad’s death. After being next door for many years he was an integral part of our neighborhood. He especially liked to talk about how both of you were doing. He is, and will be, greatly missed. Our heartfelt condolences to you both and to his extended family. Please get in touch with us if you need anything at all.
Terry, how very sad I am to hear of you dying. You were such an adversary on the tennis court. We had some good matches, dude. I will miss you and your stories. You had a great bond with your kids, so proud of their achievements, such a devoted, loving father. We’ll have you in our hearts.
I will miss you Terry Salo.

I was very sorry to see Terry’s face on the obits page of the TC this weekend. We hung out together a few years back and he told me much of his life story, including his roots in the Finnish community, trips to India for pioneer hip-replacement surgery, his love of tennis and his place in San Jose. He loved his family and I was honoured to reframe some of his special photographs for him. We enjoyed blues music at the old Harpo’s club, and he kindly cooked dinners for me at his Oak Bay home. I will miss his friendly smile and offer my condolences to his family.
