It is with great sadness that the family of Adelard Laurie Joseph Cormier announces the death of their father.  The death occurred at the Moncton Hospital on Saturday, July 25, 2015.

Adelard was born on June 4, 1931 in Middle Sackville, NB.  He was the son of the late Walter and Norma Cormier.

Adelard was a quiet, gentle man and was well known in the racing circuit; he was a stock car builder and racer for many years.  Car number 53 was his claim to fame.  He was inducted into the Maritime Hall of Fame in 2007.

Adelard and his wife Audrey owned and operated Auto Service Repair on St. George Street in Moncton for 40 years.

Adelard will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his family and friends.  He is survived by his sons, David Adelard, Moncton and Laurie (Kelly), Riverview; daughters Darlene (Michael Galbraith) Jackson, Moncton and Stacey (Larry) Jones, Dieppe; foster child, Peggy Walton; sisters Loretta Cormier and Jeannine Melanson; grandchildren, Trevor (Gillian) Jackson, Michelle (Froukje) Jackson, Chantelle Cormier, Melissa Jones; great-grandchildren Gracie, Cooper and Saskia; step-grandchildren Jason, Bertha and Crystal; step-great grandchildren Cameron, Mollie, Bailey, Selena, Isaiah and Rowan.  He will be missed by over thirty Tingley nephews and nieces and by special nephew Jeffrey Melanson and nieces Kathy Borger and Nancy Cormier.

He was predeceased in April by his loving wife of 63 years, Audrey (Tingley); his brothers-in-law, Leon Melanson and Edgar Cormier; Audrey’s parents, several siblings and their spouses, a niece and nephews.

Arrangements are under the care and supervision of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge St., Sackville, NB (506-364-1300) from where visitation will take place on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 from 6 to 8 pm.  The funeral service will be held from the funeral home on Wednesday, July 29, 2015 at 2 pm, Father Allison Carroll officiating.   Adelard and his beloved wife Audrey will be laid to rest together in the Sackville Cemetery immediately following the service.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association or a charity of one’s choice would be appreciated.
