Carl Leonard Rideout – 78, of
Centreville, NS, formerly of Corner Brook, NFLD, passed away at his
residence on Saturday, July 18, 2020 after a brief, courageous battle
with gastric cancer. Beloved husband of Kay (Reader) for 59 years.
Loving father of Christine and Richard Cote, Donald and Vicky Rideout,
Steven and Sonia Rideout, Renee and Sean Watters, Jennifer Boyce and

(Melvyn) Bartlett and Gail Reader; brother-in-law, Howard (Linda)
Reader; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents
Freeman and Kate (Rogers) Rideout. For many years, Carl was a real
estate agent at Thornes Real Estate, and later, a representative at
Sunlife. After retirement, Carl and Kay moved to Centreville, NS where
he enjoyed working at Canadian Tire. He loved spending time with his
family and friends. He was always there for a talk, some advice, a
joke or a good story. He taught his children how to be good people not
just with words but by example. He was kind and fair to everyone. He
was smart, humble and funny. He enjoyed singing at local nursing homes
with his brother-in-law, Melvyn. There are not enough words for his
family to express their love and admiration for
him. Cremation has taken place. In keeping with
Carl’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral
service. Donations in his memory may be made to the Canadian Red
Cross, QEII Hospital (Halifax) or Victorian Order of Nurses –
