&index_title1=A Tribute to Terry Penner
&index_txt1=<b>A Gentle Giant </b><br />I had known Terry for close to 5 years; however I did not have the opportunity to get to know him better until the final year before his passing. He was a loving father of 3 and married to his beautiful wife Grace who is pictured here next to him. Although the time I spent with Terry was not very long, he did manage to leave with me a lasting impression.
Terry was a Gentle Giant, an individual who personified the enduring work ethic found here at Hood Packaging. He was a big man whose presence was made well known when he entered a room, yet you never felt threatened or intimidated. It was a pleasure to be in his company, and unavoidably missed, which is partly why I was drawn to this cause.
After Terrys passing I could not but help feel a void every time going into work for several weeks and months afterwards. Terrys charisma was hard to avoid particularly after getting use to seeing him every day over the course of last year. Things were not the same, I felt something had to be done, and so here we are.
&index_title2=Run for the Cause
&index_txt2=<b>What you can do to make a difference.</b><br />Terry was a big man, with a big heart, which is why I have chosen to run in his honor in this years Hamiltons 30K run Around the Bay. I invite you to join me in making a difference, click on the Events button up top to get a list of all of the different events taking place in Hamilton Sunday, March 29th, 2009.

&third_title1=Donations Welcome
&third_txt1=<b>Canadian Cancer Society</b><br><br>Terry fell victim to lung cancer early last year. I found it shocking at how quickly this disease rapidly invaded his body. At the discretion of his family, they have chosen the Canadian Cancer Society for all charitable donations. I have included a link within this page where you may find out more information about this terrible disease and how you can help make a difference.<br><br><font color="#12BC00"> %bb <a href="http://convio.cancer.ca/site/PageServer?pagename=donations_can_home"><u>Make a Donation to the Canadian Cancer Society

&fourth_title1=My Family and I
&fourth_txt1=<b>Edward R Blaha and Family</b> It is both an honor and a privilege for my family and I to support Terry and his family with this cause. Being a family man myself, I have learned to truly appreciate all that is precious and dear to me. As we near the 1 year anniversary of his passing, I hope that you may take the time to join me in supporting Terry and his family.
&fourth_txt2=<b><br /><br /><b>Searching for inspiration</b><br /></b>I have had a passion for running all of my life, I was fortunate enough to have had good teachers and counseling along the way. I have never run the 30K Hamilton Run Around the Bay, partly due to the lack of inspiration, until now.
&fourth_txt3=<b>30K for over 30years</b><br />I choose this race as I found it somewhat fitting being the oldest and most prestigious race in North America. Terry had spent over 30 years in our organization, and as I run each Kilometer it will help remind me the type of sacrifices he made along the way.
