Sidney Thomas Luther – February 19, 1924 – May 9, 2024
Sidney Thomas (Sid) Luther of Peterborough, Ontario, went to be with his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on May 9, 2024, at the age of 100.
Born in Lac Vert, SK to Sidney Thomas Luther and Alice Nott Crooks, he was the oldest of their 5 children and the last one still living.
His family moved to Peterborough, Ontario when Sid was about 15. He was only 17 when he joined the army to participate in World War 2, and thankfully he returned home to marry and raise a family.
He met and married Joan Barnes and took up a career in bricklaying, which took them wherever the work was to be found. About 1953 they bought a farm south of Omemee, and added hobby farming to the bricklaying. Finding bricklaying hard on his back Sid changed occupations and became a guard at the Millbrook Penitentiary. A few years later he moved on to the Warkworth Penitentiary as a masonry instructor. Even after he officially retired, he became a Commissionaire in the city of Peterborough for a while.
Sid was predeceased by his wife of 74 years, Joan Theresa Mary Luther (nee Barnes), and by his brothers, John Robert (Jack) Luther (Doris), Joseph Leslie (Mike) Luther, and his sisters Ruby Alice Watkins (Frank), and Pansy Agnes (Pat) Pickering (Frank).
Sid and Joan had 5 children: Laura King (John); Tim (Merlyn); Tom (Mercedes), Don (Kim), and Janet Watts (Ed). From these came 14 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren and 6 great, great grandchildren.
A celebration of Sid’s life will be held at Ashburnham Funeral Home and Reception Centre, 840 Armour Road, Peterborough at 11:00 AM on June 1st. Visitation from 10:00 AM.
The service will be live-streamed as well.
Burial will take place at Pinegrove Cemetery, Mary Street, Havelock, Ontario.

The family would like to thank Dr. Donald Spink and the staff at Fairhaven Long Term Care for their care for Dad in his last few months.
