To the Beer family,
My sincere sympathy to all of you on the passing of Terry. Many years ago I worked at Sherlock-Manning Piano Company in Clinton where Terry was also an employee. I always found Terry easy to talk to and I loved his British accent and humour. Last time I saw Terry he was eating at the Zeller’s store in Suncoast Mall. A few years ago when my husband went to dialysis by One Ride at Goderich Hospital Terry’s son David picked him up in Londesboro and I asked him if he was Terry’s son and how Terry was doing. May memories of Terry help you through this sad time. R.I.P. Terry.
Sincerely,
Helen Lyons

I was saddened to read that Henry Beer passed away. I delivered there pharmacy products for the last 6 years where Henry an I became friends and whistling partners.
Henry showed me is proud work in his boats, planes and what was in the family garage.
Even when he wasn’t feeling well,
the whistle was always there.
Thank you Henry for being in my life and R.I.P.
My condolences to your family
❤️
