Passed peacefully away at Dr. G B Cross Memorial Hospital, Clarenville on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, Sidney W. Adams of Clarenville, age 90 years. Predeceased by his loving wife Lillie; mother Victoria; father Harry; sister Florence and brothers Colin, Clarence and Wallace. Left with fond and loving memories his wife Margaret; sister Blanche Stanley; daughter Gail (Cordell); sons Brian (Fronie) and Barry (Stella); grandchildren Melanie (Jordan), Garret (Jenelle), Christopher (Natasha), Natalie (Amin), Jonathan and Heidi; great grandchildren Shems, Sheza and Mia; and a circle of loving nieces, nephews and friends.
Sidney was born on Church Hill in his grandmother’s house in Clarenville where he also attended high school. Upon graduation he was employed as a technician with Eastern Telephone and Telegraph. With the closure of the cable station he started his own cleaning business.
Throughout his life Sidney was active in the Clarenville Salvation Army Corps, where he was bandmaster. He also coached Clarenville Minor Hockey for a number of years. Sid loved the outdoors, where he was happiest fishing, hunting, picking berries and growing vegetables as well as hosting family barbeques at his cabin on Thorburn Lake.
Despite blindness in his later years, Sidney enjoyed the fellowship of Sunday dinners with family and friends. He will always be remembered for his kindness and generous spirit which knew no boundaries.
A special thank you goes out to the staff of Cozy Quarters and G B Cross Memorial Hospital for the loving care they gave Sidney.
Sidney will be resting at Fewer’s Funeral Home, Clarenville. Visitation 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. on Friday, March 1, 2024.

I remember the kindness of your Father when we lived in Clarenville many “moons ago”. It was just a year that my parents were the Co’s, but I recall with fondness visits to your home, the bonfire up in the back of your house, and even a couple of visits to Thorburn Lake cabin!
Even in more recent times recall chatting with your Dad. He was a great man, encourager, salvationist.
Now is Promoted to Glory!
Blessings on each of you!

February 28, 2024 at 7:34 pmSo very sorry to hear of Mr. Adams passing, he worked with my Dad for many years with Eastern Telephone and Telegraph (Cable Station) and I can never ever recall seeing him unhappy. He had a smile for everyone and a cheerful “Hello”. He was the “quintessential gentleman” and always had a hug for any of us kids that he met. Sending deepest condolences to his family; my thoughts and prayers are with you. Kindest regards, Jacqueline Dupont- Aylward and Family.

March 1, 2024 at 11:38 pmDear Brian and Family,
Our deepest affection and most profound sympathy is going out to you over the vast distance which separates you from home at this incredibly sad time for your family. We did not know your Dad; but we know you. This means that over the many years of our friendship, we have become aware that you come from solid, decent stock, a family where respect, faith and charity are the hallmarks of your life. You always speak so warmly of growing up in Clarenville and being active and involved in church and community life. That’s a real tribute to your parents and the values passed from them that you carry and have passed on to your own children and grandchildren. We are sure this is a sad soulful time for you. We hope and pray the incredible memories you count among your blessings will be a constant presence and a sustaining force as you adjust to this new “shape” of your family. Please accept our profound sympathy.
Cindy and Al Antle

Please accept deepest condolences on the passing of your dad, from Morris and myself. I will always remember Sid (and Lily) from my growing up years. Sid encouraged me many times, which is something a young person never forgets. God bless you and your families as you support each other through this loss. I pray that your faith and the love you give each other will bring you comfort.

I have some great memories of your Dad. It’s been many “moons ago” since that one year when my parents were the COs in Clarenville. It was a challenging year, but I recall the visits to your home, the bonfire “up in the garden”, the trek up the tracks to the cabin on Thorburn Lake, and my parents always mentioning the support of your parents.
Even in latter years my brief contacts with your Dad are fondly remembered. You contacted me to share the news with him while he was in the HSC of your mother’s passing and PtG!
Your Dad joins her now.
Be assured of my prayers in these days!
