STRANGEMORE, CARLTON
October 12, 1949 - May 30, 2024
Carl was born in Cook’s Harbour on October 12th, 1949. He was the fourth child born to Naomi and Hayward Strangemore. He had three brothers, Selwyn (Ivy), Charles (Gaye), Guy, and four sisters, Nita, Marilyn, Eva (Riley), and Joyce. When Carl was five years old, his family moved to St. Anthony where he grew up and spent his entire life. He worked most of his adult life in the processing sector with FPI in St. Anthony. In later years, he worked in the construction industry in St. John’s.
In 1971, he married Selma Ollerhead and together they raised two children, Luanne (Frank) and Shelley (Cory). They were then blessed with four grandchildren, Hilary, Nicholas, Cameron and Tyler. His grandchildren meant the world to him and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for any of them.
When Carl married Selma, he grew an extended family of brothers and sisters. There were many visits to St. Anthony by them all and there is no doubt that every visit with Carl was a memorable one.
Through the years, Carl grew many relationships that became lifelong friendships. Some of those friends became known as the Cabin Crew. This group had many a time playing music and singing, but what made them sound amazing was the best accordion player, Carl. He could brighten up any room with the sounds of the accordion playing and feet thumping. Music that all who knew him would cherish for a lifetime.
His passions extended beyond music, including boating, fishing, hunting, camping, master wine maker and gardening to name a few. I would expect that over the next few days, his family will hear some of the many adventures of Carl doing what he loved, and those stories will be nothing short of amazing and entertaining, because that’s the kind of person he was. Captivating, gentle, kind, witty, passionate, and of course, a little stubborn too.
Carl lived to see the passing of many of his family and friends; his mother and father, sister Nita, brothers-in-law, Tony, Roy, Ray, Earl and sister-in-law Loretta, along with his closest friends, Paul, George and Blanche and his best friend’s son Craig.
Sadly, Carl’s courageous battle with cancer ended peacefully on May 30th, 2024, while surrounded by his loving family. During Carl’s battle with cancer, he came to know many people that showed him compassion, empathy and support beyond what could ever be expected. The cancer care team in St. Anthony, along with all the nurses, physicians, and diagnostic service teams, all played a role in enabling Carl to have extended time with his family. There are too many people to name, but you know who you are, and you all held a special place in his heart! The man known as Dad, Pop, Husband, Brother, Brother-in-Law, Uncle, Cousin and Friend will be forever in our hearts and the memories he left will be cherished. Raise a glass to this amazing man and hear the accordion playing sweetly, Music and Friends! Love forever and always.
Visitation is being held at the funeral home in St. Anthony from 2-4 and 7-8:30pm Friday May 31st, 2024 followed by family prayer. The funeral service will be held at 11am on Saturday, June 1, 2024 from the St. Mary’s Anglican Church in St. Anthony with Rev. Arthur Kinsella officiating. Interment to follow.

Ever the storyteller, Cosmo would never miss the opportunity to spin a tale of his youth, speaking often and warmly of his many adventures in his working years. His warm smile and hearty laugh has blessed many in his time. His creativity knew no bounds, whether it was for art, music, woodworking, or the occasional invention. He was eager to invite anyone to his table for a feed of fresh “taties” from his own garden, and took pride in his ability to provide for his family. While we mourn his passing, we are reminded by memories-of the blessing of having him with us for his long, rewarding life.
Cosmo leaves behind with heavy hearts and a lifetime of warm memories, his belove Wife, Rowena; his three Children: Mervie (Jerome), Eva (Wayne), and Leslie (Jenifer), his pride and joys; his 3 grandchildren: Mitch, Amanda (Matthew), and Annabella'; his in-laws: Lillian (the late Lawrence), Vivian (the late Stedman), Bessie (the late Stewart), Angus (the late Mamie), Belinda (Steve), Lambert (Iris), Israel (Kathleen). Also left t0 mourn with heavy hearts are his nieces, nephews, and the most incredible collection of friends and acquaintances that he has accumulated through the years.

The family would like to send a big “thank-you” and much appreciation to Dr. Irfan and the nursing staff of the Rufus Guinchard Health Center, your wonderful care will never be forgotten. It was only a short time but we would also like to thank his Home care Workers Winnie Bell and Shirley Plowman.
Say not in grief “he is no more”, but in thankfulness that “he was”.

BROMLEY, JOHN THOMAS
1932 - 2024
It is with broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear beloved father on Partridgeberry Path at the John M. Gray Centre in St. Anthony on May 12th, 2024.
Born January 10th, 1932 in Conche he was the youngest child of Patrick & Frances (nee Murphy). John lost his mother at age 2 and was raised along with his 6 siblings by his Dad with help from friends and family. He grew up to be a kind, caring, soft hearted gentleman respected by those who knew him and loved dearly by his family. He left home at age 16 to work in the stables at the Grenfell Mission in St. Anthony.
He worked various jobs, even the engineer on a schooner, The Glider, before joining his three brothers in later years as their fishing buddy. Years later they were joined by his son, Steve and they worked side by side fishing until him and his brothers retired 1992. John was a Jack of All Trades, master of none as he would say. He took great pride in his work and he loved and served his Saviour without question.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, mechanics, having a good yarn, reminiscing about olden days and oftentimes would make your jaw drop while relating some of the pranks he and a buddy played as their idleness took over – all in fun of course as he wouldn’t hurt a soul, not knowingly anyways. Of everything in life he was most proud of his children and grandchildren, he loved us dearly and he always finished his conversation with us by letting us know it and saying “I love you… I really loves ya too!” We will miss him for sure.
Left to mourn his loss are his loving wife, Susan (nee Whelan), the love of his life with whom he spent just over 60 years of wedded bliss with; his children: Maureen (Chris Tucker), Stephen (Michelle Higgins) and Josephine (Gordon Chaytor); Grandchildren: Marshall, Jessica (Bobby Byrne), Sarah (Robby Osmond), Michael (Alana Symmonds), Jonathan (Erica Hunt), Katrina, Chelsea (Ryan Sweeney), Karessa, and Karson; as well as his Great-grandson Liam; brothers in law: Jim Whelan (Cheryl) and Nick Whelan; his lifelong friend Gerald FitzGerald; special great nephew Murray Symmonds, as well as a number of nieces, nephews and numerous friends.
Gone before him and eagerly awaiting his arrival with open arms are his Mom and Dad: Patrick and Frances (nee Murphy); brothers: Con, Anthony, Patrick; his sisters: Bridget, Kathleen and Josephine; his daughter in law: Evelyn; parents in law: Nicholas and Mary (nee Joyce) Whelan, as well as in-laws numerous cousins and friends.
Peace be thine Dear Daddy/Pop -your wings were ready but we weren’t. You were the best you could be to us and you will be greatly missed. Fly high with the angels sweet man, we will meet again. We love you….we really loves ya too!!
The family extends a heartful thank you to his many care givers and doctors at the John M Gray Centre as well as his caregivers at Shirley’s Haven where he lived for 3 years up until last summer- your kindness and caring deeds have not gone unnoticed. We so very much appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you too to Gerry Bromley. Many times he mentioned how good you were, bringing him in things he wanted and ensuring he got whatever he asked for. Thank you for your time and generosity, being there when we couldn't, a true friend indeed! Last but not least, from the bottom of our hearts thank you Theresa Flynn! You are an angel, it was you who allowed him to stay home and have a few more years in the place he loved tending to his and our mother's needs. He had many kind words for you and so appreciated everything you done. We are grateful too for everything you did and so appreciate the excellent care you provided.
Gifts or flowers are graciously accepted but in lieu, at his request, donations can be made to Sacred Heart Parish.
Visitation will be held at Sacred Heart Church in Conche beginning on Tuesday, May 13, 2024 at 7 pm with the wake service taking place on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 7:30 PM. The funeral mass will be held on Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 11 am, Father George officiating. Interment to follow.
