Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Terry was the oldest
son of Charlie
and Monica
MURPHY of John Street. When he graduated from Osgoode
Hall Law School at the age of 22, Terry became the youngest person
in Ontario to be called to the Bar. He served a term as Alderman
for the City of Sault Ste. Marie in 1965 and was elected to serve
as the Liberal Federal Member of Parliament for the riding of
Sault Ste. Marie from 1968 until 1972. During this time, he served
on the Justice Committee and also chaired the North Atlantic
Assembly, a post that required him to visit all the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization countries. In 1980 he was appointed as a
Judge for the District of Sudbury/Manitoulin, where he sat until
his retirement in 2000. In 2005, Terry was honoured to be formally
acknowledged by The Advocates' Society, in the book Learned Friends,
as one of fifty of the finest advocates practising in Ontario
from 1950 to 2000, who exemplified the very highest standards
of advocacy and shaped the legal profession in the province.
Terry lived life well, with no regrets. He loved his family,
music, good wine, good food, stimulating conversation, Dorothy's
flower gardens, and the rugged beauty of Northern Ontario. Friends
may call at the Northwood Funeral Home (942 Great Northern Road,
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario P6A 5K7 705-945-7758) on Tuesday evening
from 6 to 9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday July 16,
