After a short battle with cancer, veteran broadcaster Terry Moore passed away at age 82 this afternoon in Victoria, BC.
From Ted Smith: I regret to advise you that our Pal Terry passed this afternoon at 2:30.... the time of his choosing... surrounded by his loving family. In typical Terry style and in a weak voice he led everyone in singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"...
