OCTOBER 10, 1953 – SEPTEMBER  21, 2025 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wade White of Long Cove. He passed peacefully away surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Wade is pre-deceased by his mother and father Gladys and Richard, and his in-laws Frances and Harry Cooper. Born to a life filled with adventure and love, Wade was a Husband, father, and grandfather who loved his family. Wade leaves behind, with fond and loving memories, his wife, Norma of 49 years. His two sons; Bernell and Bryan, special daughter in law Christina and the light of his life, “Poppy’s pride and joys,” Harry, Jack and Lucy. His brother Elwood (Jean), and two sisters; Vera (Frank) Ennis and Sonya (Darryl) Piercey, nieces and nephews as well as his friends and extended family. Wade started his career in the pool industry in 1978 as a remarkably hardworking man whose dedication shaped every aspect of his life. In 1989, with little more than determination and a vision, he built his business, Clearwater Pools, from the ground up. Through years of tireless effort, and hard work, Wade poured his heart and soul into the company, growing it into something he was truly proud of. Along the way, he met countless friends and colleagues, many of whom became like family. Today, Clearwater Pools stands not only as a successful business, but as a legacy Wade leaves in the hands of his two sons. Outside of work, Wade found joy in the simple and meaningful things. In his younger years, he loved curling—both watching the sport and playing it for fun. He spent 25 years as a volunteer firefighter with the NCLC fire department. He was deeply devoted to his family, and nothing brought him more happiness […]
