I can say with some certainty that he's not still upset as he's no longer with us. He died in 2004 (time flies) and here's the previously posted obit from the Orillia Packet & Times:

*************************************************
Deaths
WHELAN, Thomas Phillip (Terry) - At the Toronto
General Hospital on Saturday, July 31st, 2004.
Terry Whelan, of Washago, beloved husband & best friend of Susan St. Onge. Father of Shea (Lara) Whelan and step-father of Jennifer (Marty) Pepper & Katelyn (Brandon) Mitchell. Grand-father of Liam, Ryan, Cameron & Jackson. Brother of Lynn (Howard) Hamilton. Predeceased by parents Thomas & Phyllis. Terry will be lovingly remembered by his nieces, nephews & special friends Gary & Barb Lovelace, Roy & Andrea Smith, Bob Haley, Bill & Sue Hawkins & Gwen Kavanagh.

Terry had a special love of music which started early in his life with barbershop singing while in high school. This led him to local theatre art groups and he was later a harmony singer with the Tom deMoraes Orchestra & the Glenn Miller Band. In lieu of flowers, memorial donation made to any local youth musical organization would be gratefully appreciated. As per Terry's request, following cremation there will be a Private Family Memorial Service held at a later date. Messages of condolence are welcome at www.mundellfuneralhome.com
*************************************************
It was the barbershop quartet singing where he and Gord first performed together, I believe.
