Obituary for Clyde deVeer Gross

Clyde deVeer Gross, 97, of Riverview, passed away peacefully at The Moncton Hospital on Thursday, July 25, 2019. Clyde deVeer Gross was born in Surrey, Albert Co. on May 8, 1921. He was the only son of the late Roland and Ivy (Hill) Gross.

Aside from his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Iris Woodworth.

He attended local schools and graduated from the Hillsborough High School in 1939. In September, 1939, he was enrolled in the Provincial Normal School in Fredericton, graduating in 1940 and taught in a local school (Berryton) for one year before enlisting in the RCAF in August 1941. His unit was the 11 BR. Squadron attached to the Eastern Air Command, engaged in anti submarine warfare in the North Atlantic, which performed significant work in the battle of the Atlantic. When the war in Europe ended, their unit was moved to the west coast where the war with Japan was ongoing. After the war, Clyde abandoned the teaching profession to pursue a business career. He joined the Co–op Atlantic Agricultural Division in 1949 and worked in several positions. In 1966, he was transferred to Fredericton to manage their operations in that city. In 1973, he returned to Moncton as Manager of the local mill also. In 1979, he was promoted to Production Services Manager with responsibilities to maintain and renew all Feed Mill operations.

In September 1948, he married Emma Power. They shared a very happy and eventful married life together, happy to be each other’s best friend and companion. Together they crated the Emma and Clyde deVeer Gross Scholarship at the University of New Brunswick, open to the residents of New Brunswick. They enjoyed travelling, visiting Europe, Central America and often to Madeira Beach in Florida.

The Gross family was one of the first settlers of Albert County. They were descendants of the French Hugenot. Richard Gross was a shipwright and built several ships on the Petitcodiac River. He was a large landowner who donated land to build the Valley Baptist Church in Surrey.

Clyde was an avid reader with wide and varied interests. He was lifelong learner with a continual search for knowledge. His interest in Financial Markets allowed him to participate in charitable donations. His retirement in 1984 allowed him more time to participate in such ventures.

Clyde will be sadly missed by his wife, Emma (Power) and several nieces and nephews.

Visitation at Fergusons Funeral Home, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (858–1995) on Saturday from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. A Service to celebrate and honour Clyde’s life will be held from Fergusons Funeral Home Chapel on Sunday, July 28, 2019 at 2:00 pm, with Rev. Gordon Horsman leading the service. Reception in the Funeral Home Reception Centre following the service. Interment will be in Fair Haven Memorial Gardens.

In memory of Clyde, donations to a memorial of the donor’s choice would be appreciated. Online condolences for the family may be shared on Fergusons Funeral Home Facebook page or at www.fergusonsfuneralhome.com
