OBITUARY
Alcide "Sid" Theoret
16 June, 1931 – 19 January, 2021
THÉORET, Alcide “Sid” - Sid was known for his love of telling jokes and stories. He made his living as a truck driver and imagined himself doing this until the very end. His sense of humour peeked through, even when he was very sick. He left this world at the age of 89 due to heart issues. He is survived by his beloved wife Edna (née Ivens), who was by his side for 69 of those years. Sid was born June 16, 1931 to his parents Henri and Marie-Louise Théoret in Bainsville, Ontario. He is survived by his brothers Léo Théoret (Bertha), Ron-Toro Théoret (Danielle), as well as his sister Germaine Drolet (Marcel). He is predeceased by brothers André Théoret (Fleurette), Fernand Théoret (Kathleen), and sisters Yvonne Gauthier (Donat) and Gisèle Bellefeuille (Paul). Many nephews and nieces also shared in his joy of storytelling and laughter. Although he was a man on the go, he and Edna managed to create and raise 4 children. Evelyn Godard (Dean), Henry Théoret (Joanne), Mike Théoret (Olive), and Diane Blue. He became Papère to Gilles Godard (Amy), Daniel Godard (Krista), Robert Théoret (Deb), Tina Théoret, Nicholas Blue and Madison Blue. He was a loved Papère and Papa to his Great-Grandchildren Jennifer Godard, Isabelle Godard, Janelle Godard and Monica Théoret as well as his step Great-Grandchildren Emaly, Casey, Trevor L., Mikey, Trevor G., Eric, Alyssa and Fred. Rose and Myles are his Great- Great- Grandchildren. All these loved ones will keep his memory alive for years to come.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Lahaie & Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Homes, West Branch, (613-932-8482).
A Private Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Sid will be placed for his final resting at St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Lancaster. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Messages of condolences may be left at www.lahaiesullivan.ca
Time To Go
Been lots of miles on many roads Haulin’ ass with all those loads Meeting people from near and far And perhaps a stop at the local bar Sharing stories and a joke or ten Never met someone who wasn’t my friend I’ve lost my temper a time or two The toilets were always too far and too few I’m tired now so it’s time to go To a place with less traffic, no logbooks or snow In your mirror I’ll no longer be But if you hear a good story please share it with me (Di.B.)

Our deepest condolences to the Theoret family. Kevin & I have
fond memories of Sid and many laughs we have shared over the years. Sid would always stop at our store in Martintown when he was passing through, as well sold a articular brand of peanuts that he cared for and would spend some time chatting with my husband and I over coffee that we never charged him for. When the ice storm hit we kept our store opened even though there was no power so the community could still get essentials. True to his nature, in comes Sid with a thermos full of coffee saying " This time it's my turn to pay the coffee". The tears still flow as I recall this fond memory.

We were saddened to hear of Sid's passing. We enjoyed his many stories he shared, his visit when we were in Florida and his visit to the lake. Our condolences to all the Theoret family.

When I started racing I never had any money to get gas or fix my race car so Pepere would come into the pitts during intermission and leave my grandmother in the stands so that he could sneak me some money so I could keep racing and then he would say don't tell your grandmother and go win this race. Jesus I'm going to miss my grandfather he was my hero.

Dear Dad,
We’ve had our ups and downs, probably because we were a lot alike. But we always had love, and knew we could count on each other. You made me feel safe, and I knew you would always be in my corner. I will miss having that sense of security and unconditional love. I feel honoured to have been able to share your last days. It hurt to see you suffer but a privilege to hold your hand. I hope you are in Heaven visiting with your family and friends. I found the dime you sent me yesterday:) thank you. My life won’t be the same without you but I will always cherish the love and laughs and our silly moments. Love you Dad.

When I had a car accident in 1974 my mother was angry cause I had totaled my car and uncle Sid told her that she should be happy cause a car you can replace but a life you can't. I will never never forget that. Thank you uncle Sid for telling her that. Also on a brighter side is when you happen to encounter uncle Sid in a store well you knew you would be there for awhile cause he would tell me jokes and stories all the while with his signature contageous laugh and great sense of humor.I will miss him deeply. RIP Uncle Sid. By the way can you please say HI to my father and tell him I miss him and love him. We will meet again.

Our sincere condolences to Edna and the entire family. Alcide had a big heart, a big smile, and he was always welcoming. Our Mom, Rolande and our Dad Jean-Paul always enjoyed spending time with both Edna, Alcide and the Theoret family. Alcide certainly had the gift of good conversation. He will be missed. I have no doubt he is already telling jokes to st Peter at the Celestial doors to heaven. Rest In Peace Alcide. 😔 🙏.

Our friendship was short lived (12 days 11 nights) but very fulfilling to me. I value our small talks and hilarious joke telling was required under the circumstances of our friendship. Even the small tear sheds.
You’d be pleased to know I’m doing well and working hard.
You’ll not be forgotten in my story telling.
Rest easy Chum

Oh tristesse!
Je viens d’apprendre le décès d’Alcide mon cousin...que j’aimais tellement!
Je vais continuer de l’aimer, c’est sûr, à travers tous les bons souvenirs que je garderai de lui.
Ma sœur Louise me parle d’Alcide avec ses blagues, lui qui nous a fait souvent rire, pas de méchanceté, juste le côté malicieux et conteur des Théorêt dont nous sommes parents.
Un talent de conteur oui mais aussi un homme chaleureux qui aimait le monde, qui aimait rire et faire rire.
It seems to run in the family!
Évelyne, Henri, Michel et Diane semblent avoir hérité de sa sensibilité et de son sens de l’humour.
J’ai pour eux aujourd’hui une tendre pensée....pour eux et pour Edna, sa précieuse complice.
Je me console un peu du décès d’Alcide en me disant qu’il aura vécu assez longtemps pour nous laisser tout plein de bons souvenirs.
J’espère que là où il s’en va, il pourra réchauffer la place avant qu’on aille le rejoindre.
Louise et moi voulons offrir nos sympathies à toute la famille ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui l’ont aimé.
Même si je suis triste aujourd’hui de le savoir parti, je continuerai de sourire chaque fois que je penserai à lui.
Alcide,
Ta présence parmi nous a fait de ce monde, un monde meilleur.
Merci pour tout et....bon voyage!
Normand et Louise Carrière xxx

You were the best papa I could have ever asked for. You were always so proud of all of us, so proud to say that I was the one that made you a great grandpa. I miss your stories, your smile, your laugh and your hugs already. I hope to see you again one day. Now I have the best guardian angel. I miss you so much already. I love you forever papa ❤️
