Terry OSTAPIW
June 11, 1950 - May 12, 2021
Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Terry Ostapiw of St. Paul on May 12 at the age of 70 years. Terry is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Christine; daughter, Tara (Gregg) Nixon; son, Trevor (Laura); grandchildren, Bennett & Claire Nixon, Addison & Milo; mother, Netty; brother, Michael (Corinne) and their children, Rayna & Kellen; numerous other nieces & nephews . Terry was predeceased by his father, Harry.
Terry had a long career teaching Phys. Ed. at Ashmont Elementary School, embracing his lifelong love of sports. He was an avid baseball player, golfer, curler & loved his Old Timers hockey where his friends fondly referred to him as “T.O.”. He also loved the outdoors, spending his summers camping with family. He could often be found with a clipboard in hand, as the self-proclaimed draw master for all the games. A constant stream of oldies music was always playing from Terry’s campsite. After retiring, having a perfectly manicured yard became Terry’s passion. You could always find him working in the backyard in the morning and relaxing in his chair in the afternoon. His other passion was sneaking treats to his grandkids from “Grandpa’s Stash” of goodies. Terry will be missed dearly by his family & friends.
Scheduled viewing Sunday, May 16 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Friends and family must contact Trevor at 780-995-9863 to arrange a specific time. A Private Funeral Service will be held at All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church, St. Paul. Reverend Father Peter Haugen will be officiating with interment in Union Cemetery, St. Paul. If desired donations may be made to KidSport St. Paul c/o 5626-51 Street, St. Paul T0A 3A1. To send condolences online, please visit www.gracegardensfuneralchapel.com.
