So sorry to hear of Terry Cassidy's passing. He was an articulate, passionate and community oriented board member at Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. As a staff member, I worked very closely with him on the Finance Committee and Board over the last few years and was always impressed with his knowledge, care and insight particularly through the challenges of the COVID pandemic. He will be missed greatly by his family and throughout the community. Thinking of his family members and close associates at this difficult time. Val Dunham

I am sorry to hear the news of Councillor Cassidy's passing. I was fortunate to have had many interactions with Terry during my years as an Employee of the City of Quinte West and always enjoyed the conversations he and I had about many topics, personally and professionally. Terry approached everything with passion and it was more than obvious how much he cared about the community he served. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Cassidy family at this most difficult time.
