Cal, as he was affectionately known to most was a member of the ACCP for over 40 years. Over time, he was president and longstanding treasurer of our club. As well, Cal was our wise counsel on all matters – serious and fun. In earlier years Cal was involved in the larger old car community with the National Association of Antique Automobile Clubs of Canada and the Craven Automobile Museum in Toronto.
Cal, Joan and the family were ardent participants in all the club functions with Wayne, Wendy and Dean all growing up in the ACCP family. The TerMarsch clan will be remembered for gracious hosting of BBQs at Lake Dore and the start-up of almost all our club tours at their Boundary Road office year after year. Shell products were always included in the cache of prizes at the Road-A-Os and other events, kindly donated for the cause. The gallery of club-related pictures and mementos in Cal’s office speaks volumes.
Old car enthusiasts in Pembroke and at a distance knew Cal for his professional approach to restoration of distinctive vehicles. Cal was an astute dealer and a friendly face at Hershey, Carlisle and Barrie over many years. In the TerMarsch garages would be found at one time or another the 1931 Ford AA Shell tanker truck, the 1931 Model A Ford Roadster, 1934 Dodge sedan, 1935 Ford model 48 sedan, 1936 Chevrolet sedan, 1967 Mustang GT, 1964 Chevelle Malibu convertible, 1965 Buick Skylark convertible and the prized 1953 Pontiac Chieftain convertible. His last trip in the yellow Pontiac was on ACCP’s Calabogie Colour Tour.
We will miss our friend Cal and in keeping with his style, will keep our club well mannered and engaged in the community as we enjoy touring in our vintage vehicles.
