It is with great sadness that the family of Benjamin Bencijon "Benji" Terk announces his passing, on Sunday, April 26th, 2020 in his home, at the age of 80 years.
Benji was born on February 8th, 1940, in Kovel, Poland to parents Ester (nee Weinstein) and Sender Terk. His family sailed on the Anna Salen from Europe to Canada in the 1950s. Benji attended McGill University and lived a full and eccentric life as an entrepreneur and a caring father. His children, Jordana, Shane, and David, whom he shared with former spouse and close friend, Linda Terk, were his pride and joy.
Benji will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Sauwoon "Winnie" and his children, Jordana (Mehdi), Shane (Amanda), and David (Liseth); his grandson Benjamin, his brothers Hymen and Morris and his life long friend Steve Silver. Benji is preceded in death by his brother Jack Terk and his close friend and former spouse Linda Terk.
A private burial service was held on Wednesday, April 29th, at 2:30 pm, at Baron de Hirsch Cemetery in Montreal. We look forward to a public unveiling in the future. |
