KOSMACK, Terrence Garnet - peacefully, with his family by his side, on Sunday, September 21, 2025 in his 71st year, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Terry Kosmack of Pembroke, beloved husband and best friend of 42 years to Pauline Kosmack (nee Beaupre). Devoted and selfless father who would do anything for his daughters: Natalie (Derek) Black, Nicole (Ed) Tierney, Natasha (Jamie) Kosmack-Benn , and Nadia (Andrew) Fabian. Cherished Papa to his 12 grandchildren: Kaylee & Tianna; Lily, Kane, Cora & Eddy; Adrien, Hanna, Nya, Myrah & Emmett; and Etta, who will forever carry his love in their hearts. Terry will be deeply missed by his sister, Connie (Barry) Watt, brothers/sisters-in-law: Marion (Charles) Chappell, Edward (Lana) Beaupre, Dereck (Wanda) Beaupre and remembered fondly by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Garnet & Mona Kosmack (nee Edwards) and by his parents-in-law Edward & Shirley Beaupre (nee Brunette).

Terry dedicated 44 years of his career to Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (now Canadian Nuclear Laboratories), where he valued the lasting friendships and memories made with colleagues. Outside of work, he embraced life fully; enjoying time with family, having a beer (often at the Pembroke Legion), golfing, fishing, playing pool, cheering on his favorite sports teams, and, in earlier years, windsurfing on the Ottawa River. He was proud to be a longstanding member of the Legion Branch 72, the Tunis Shriners, and the Masonic Lodge in Pembroke.

The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to his nurse practitioner, Pamela, for her outstanding care and support. Marion and Connie who have been very helpful throughout his journey, Bayshore nurse Erin Van Hoof; Reverend Matthew Brown for his meaningful visits and prayers, and the incredible staff at Marianhill Hospice, whose compassion and dedication ensured Terry's comfort during his final weeks.

A Memorial Service will be held at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 68 Renfrew St., Pembroke on Friday, October 3, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., together with the Pembroke Masonic Lodge #128. Interment to follow at Holy Trinity Anglican Cemetery. As per Terry's wishes, a Celebration of Life will begin at 1:00 p.m., which would have been his birthday, at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #72 Pembroke. A light lunch and refreshments will be served. As an expression of sympathy, donations to Pancreatic Cancer Canada or Marianhill Hospice are appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to Malcolm, Deavitt & Binhammer Funeral Home, Pembroke.
