1928-2020
RICHIBUCTO, NB – It is with great sadness that the
family announces the passing of Philias Cormier, 92, of Richibucto, at
his home on Monday, October 12, 2020. Born in Richibucto, he
was the son of the late Edmond Cormier and late Alma (Richard)
Cormier.
Phil was employed as a plumber, electrician, propane
installer, appliance repairman and carpet installer at
Lounsbury’s in Richibucto for 39 years. In 1969,
he bought his first skate sharpening machine and thoroughly enjoyed
his passion, making many many friends of skaters from miles around who
appreciated his knowledgeable attention. All were
disheartened by his decision to retire in October 2020, after 59 years
of devoted service.

Daigle (Norman) of Aldouane; sons, Jean-Paul Cormier of Richibucto and
Jean-Claude Cormier of Rexton; grandson, Marcel Daigle of Aldouane;
granddaughter, Natasha Cormier of Saint John and great granddaughter,
Kahli Ketcheson of Galloway, along with many nieces and
nephews. He is also survived by one brother, Timmy Cormier
of Rexton and one sister-in-law, Thérèse Cormier
of Galloway.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his first wife and
mother of their four children, Flavie (Daigle) Cormier; his second
wife, Theresa (Blanchard) Turner Cormier; his first born son,
Jean-Marc Cormier; to sisters, Rita, Della and four brothers, Alvin,
