Sandwich, NH On Thursday, January 21, 2021, Claude Cormier, born in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, long-time resident of Center Sandwich, NH passed away peacefully from injuries due to a fall. He had just turned 80. Darling son of the late Sraphine and Louis; beloved husband of Claudette Cormier for over 60 years; devoted father of Jean Cormier (Christine), David Cormier (Ann Marie), and Daniel Cormier (Christine); loving brother of Richard Cormier (Rosaline), late Zella Landry (late Arthur) (late Grald), late Armand Cormier (late Aurlia), late Grald Cormier (Rose), late Aldrice Cormier (late Doris), late Emery Cormier (Doris), late Sister Irène, and late Norma Gautreau (late Arthur); cherished pèpère (grandfather) of Michelle Cormier, Adrianne Cormier, Monique Cormier, Rachelle Cormier, and Eric Cormier; and adored grandpèpère (great grandfather) of Aiden and Kaia McGonagle. As a Master Carpenter and entrepreneur, Claude ran his own business building beautiful homes across Massachusetts. A true outdoorsman, he was an avid hiker, hunter, and fisherman who found great friendship and joy with the Over the Hill Hikers Club of Center Sandwich, NH with whom Claude summited all forty-eight 4,000+ ft peaks in New Hampshire twelve times. With unrelenting love, Claude cared for and doted on his wife Claudette in the New Hampshire home he built himself for them - Claude and Claudette were made for each other. He considered himself a simple man with simple pleasures, loved to flirt with his bride, and regularly laughed so hard he cried. We'll remember him with the fiddle music playing, brown bread baking, bidding 80 during a game of 200, while keeping an eye out for the pesky black bear. Out of love and concern for family and friends, a graveside service will be held at Vittum Hill Cemetery in Sandwich, NH in the spring.
