It is with sadness we announce the passing of Terrance Stanley "Fish" Porteous, age 67, of Oxford, NS.  Terry passed away on Sunday, November 28, 2021 at the East Cumberland Lodge, Pugwash.

Born in Pugwash, he was a son of the late Freeman and E. Phyllis (Currie) Porteous.

Terry worked for the Town of Oxford as a younger man, later operating his own clothing store "Terry's Fashions" in Oxford. A very social man, he was well known to his community and county as Fish.  He was an avid curler in his younger days.  A Mason, he was a member of the Wimburn Lodge #75 (Oxford) and the Widow’s Son Lodge #48 (River Philip) as well as being a Shriner and member of Cumberland Shrine Club, Amherst.

Terry will be dearly missed by his children Trevor (Rhonda), Nictaux, NS, Troy (Jevne), Stonewall, MB; grandchildren Tristan, Dustin, Jesse, Leah, and Eric; sister Marlaine (Robert) Homans, Musquodoboit Harbour, NS; brother Rick Porteous, Roslin, NS; nieces and nephews, Charmen, DJ, Heather, Robyn and Currie.

He was predeceased by his son Travis.

Arrangements have been entrusted to W.
