In Loving Memory of Sheldon Roy Thornhill
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sheldon Roy Thornhill, who passed away peacefully at the age of 79 following a very brief but courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Anderson’s Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, and raised in St. John’s, Sheldon lived a life defined by kindness, humility, friendship, family, and an enduring love of music. To know Sheldon was to know a man whose gentle spirit, warm smile, and generous heart left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He possessed a rare ability to make people feel welcome and valued, and his genuine compassion touched countless lives.
Music was not simply a passion for Sheldon—it was the very heartbeat of his life. An extraordinarily talented accordion player, he spent decades sharing his gift with audiences throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, across Canada, and abroad in Ireland and Qatar. Through every performance, he proudly celebrated the rich musical traditions of his beloved province, serving as a true ambassador for Newfoundland and Labrador wherever he went.
In his early years, Sheldon performed with the band Soirees, helping to bring Newfoundland music to audiences far and wide. For more than 30 years, he was a cherished member of the Outer Cove Concert Crowd, where he formed lifelong friendships and shared countless memorable performances. In recent years, Sheldon found great joy as one half of Sullivan’s Songhouse, performing alongside one of his closest friends, Sean Sullivan, for the past seven years. Together they entertained, inspired, and connected people through music, laughter, and storytelling.
Sheldon’s accordions were much more than instruments; they were his beloved companions. Some would say he was born with an accordion in his hands. Affectionately referred to as “the girls,” they travelled everywhere with him. No matter the occasion, Sheldon was always ready to pull out an accordion and play a tune. Whether at a community concert, a family gathering, a friend’s home, or even an airport terminal, he had an extraordinary ability to turn any situation into a kitchen party. The now-infamous Toronto Pearson Airport kitchen party of 2017, widely shared and celebrated across Newfoundland and Labrador and viewed around the world on YouTube and other news broadcasts, remains one of the most memorable examples of Sheldon’s larger-than-life spirit. True to form, he did what he always did best—bringing strangers together through music, laughter, and the unmistakable warmth of Newfoundland hospitality.
His remarkable talent was matched only by his humility. Whether performing on a large stage, entertaining at a community gathering, or playing among friends, he approached every opportunity with gratitude and genuine love for both the music and the people around him. His accordion brought joy to generations, and his melodies became part of the soundtrack of countless cherished memories.
Above all else, Sheldon’s greatest joy in life was his family, whom he loved deeply and unconditionally. He leaves behind his beloved wife of seven years, Thelma, whose love, care, and companionship brought him immense happiness and comfort during the last decade of his life. He is deeply mourned and lovingly remembered by his daughter, Kimberley (Keith), and his son, Todd (Albert), both of whom were a constant source of pride and joy to him. Sheldon was a devoted and immensely proud grandfather to Jacob and Jordan, who held a very special place in his heart and brought him endless happiness throughout his life.
He is also survived by his cherished stepchildren, Sherry (Steve), Rhonda, and Corey (Lori). Sheldon was a proud and loving step-grandfather to Justin, Stephanie, Kyle, and Mekellan, and a devoted step-great-grandfather to Bria, Brielle, and Janelle. He embraced his extended family wholeheartedly, offering unconditional love, encouragement, and support to each of them.
Pre-deceased by his parents, Archie and Winnie Thornhill, and his beloved brother Scottie, he leaves to mourn his only sister, Dorothea, and niece Christina (Brian). He is especially remembered by his dear friends Sean and Angie Sullivan, Dave and Sandy Dupree, and Ed and Mary Cadigan, all of whom held a very special place in his heart.
In addition to his immediate and extended family, Sheldon leaves behind an endless circle of close friends, fellow musicians, neighbours, and acquaintances whose lives were enriched by knowing him. The number of people who considered Sheldon a dear friend is simply too great to count. His gift for friendship, his infectious sense of humour, and his ability to make everyone feel like family ensured that wherever he went, he left behind lasting connections and treasured memories.
While his accomplishments as a musician were many, those who knew him best will remember him not only for the music he created but for the person he was—a kind and gentle soul, a loyal friend, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and stepfather, and a man whose presence made the world a whole lot brighter.
Though our hearts are broken by his loss, we take comfort in knowing that his legacy will live on through the music he shared, the friendships he treasured, the family he loved, and the countless lives he touched—a life that truly revolved around “Music and Friends.” His accordion may now rest, but the melodies he created and the joy he brought to others will continue to echo for generations to come. Somewhere in heaven, “the girls” are playing.
A life so beautifully lived can never truly be lost. Sheldon will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.
May his music play on in our hearts forever.

Dear Kim, Keith, Jacob, and Jordan,
We are so sorry to hear about your father’s passing. Although we never got to meet him, we know how much he meant to you and many, and our thoughts are with your whole family.
Sending you plenty of of hugs and love.
To Todd and family, I am deeply sorry to hear of Sheldon’s passing. Thank you Todd for sharing with me the joy that was your father and continuing his legacy with your love of music. The team and I have you in our thoughts and are here to support you through this sad time.
My sincere condolences.
My deepest sympathy on the passing of Sheldon.
He was a very kind and gentle man who would lend a hand to anyone.
Keep your memories of him in your hearts and he will always be with you.
To the Thornhill Family: so sorry to hear of Sheldon’s Passing. I worked with Sheldon at the Telephone Company . He was always a great person to work with, always a helping hand. He will be missed . Enjoy all your memories of him. RIP Sheldon.
So sad to hear of Sheldon’s passing. I worked with Sheldon and found him to be a very nice gentleman. Loved his humor and music. He played many times for functions at work and his music was thoroughly enjoyed by all. He will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends.
Todd, we were so very sad to learn of your dad’s passing. He touched so many with his musical talents and his warm personality and charm and we know he will be deeply missed. We send our most heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this very sad time. With warm thoughts, Gerry & Alice
Our deepest sympathy to Sheldon’s family. Although I am a second cousin and we occasionally spoke on the phone, Bill and I had little knowledge of the many hearts he touched, but the obituary and today’s church service made it clear that he was loved and respected by people near and far.
We send much love and deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved husband, Thelma, and to yours and Sheldon’s familes and friends. We were neighbours for several years on Avery Place and my Jerry was always happy to lend his hands when needed and we always enjoyed a chuckle with them both. They were always smiling and laughing. God bless you and give you strength as you and your families move forward in the coming days and months. We watched Sheldon’s service this morning and between the music and the beautiful sermon, there could never have been a better send off to the angels in heaven than we heard this morning. My dad also loved music so much and before he passed he told me he had a dream one night and he said he dreamed he went to heaven and he said he got to the gates and there was an angel on each side of the gates. Each one reached out and took a hand and walked him through….. just my little story but it always gave me some peace. Cherish your beautiful memories and take time to grieve and cry; we are praying for strength for you as you move forward.
To All Family Members: : Deepest Sympathy on the passing of your Beloved, Sheldon! Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone during this very sad and most difficult time! I know Winnie, Archie and Scottie will be delighted to be with him again!
Carmelita Butland Bruce and Family

Thelma and family, so sorry for your loss. My fondest memory of Sheldon was at Ed and Mary’s cabin. Sheldon, Sean and Ed playing and myself and Dennis dancing the entire night and to top it off Sheldon played a Conway Twitty song . We are so happy to have spent time with you both. God bless sincere condolences
Eileen and I wish to express our sincere condolences.
My deepest condolences to Thelma and all of Sheldon’s family and friends. I met Sheldon many years ago through my brother Ed. In the time since I have had the privilege of being in Sheldon’s company numerous times ,mostly at Ed and Mary’s cabin. On each and every occasion you were met by the same welcoming and sincere person. Sheldon had that special gift of making everyone feel that they were the only person in the room, whether it was while he was performing or as he sat down for a one on one chat . It was magic and very few people possess that personality trait but Sheldon did in the most genuine way. Hold the special moments close because he surely did create an abundance of them . God bless.
To Sheldon’s Family and Friends
Please accept my sincerest condolences on Sheldon’s passing. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Sheldon in the early 80’s when working at Newtel and from time to time our paths would cross and we would have a grand chat.
I pray that the love of your family and friends and the many fond memories live long in your hearts and minds forever
My condolences to Sheldon’s Family and good friend Sean Sullivan on the passing of Sheldon who was a true gentleman, a kind person and a wonderful musician. May he rest in peace.

To Sheldon’s Family
I was so sad to hear of Sheldon’s passing, I grew up in the same neighbor as Sheldon, when I would run into him he would always stop for a chat and when he left, oh that big smile on his face. Sheldon was also a friend of my late husband, Sheldon was the sweetest and kindest dperson that you could ever meet. Sending my deepest condolences to you all. RIP Sheldon, you earned your wings❤
To Sheldon’s family and friends,
Jim and I were blessed to go to Ireland with the Concert Crowd back in the day. I too remember Sheldon standing in the ocean, wrapped in a Newfoundland flag, playing the accordion. We last chatted at the festival in August.. Wonderful memories of a wonderful man.
I knew Sheldon when he grew up on Little Street and I was on Whiteway Street, although we always knew him as Shelley.. And then, in the sixties, we sat together in a couple of classes at MUN. A finer person you couldn’t meet. I extend condolences to his family.
Our thoughts are with Sheldon’s family and friends.
We first met Sheldon in the 80’s when he played darts with my husband June Hawco. We have fond memories of listening to him play in the Soiries and then in recent years at Sullivan’s Songhouse. He will be missed greatly.
To all of Sheldon’s family,
I felt an instant pang of sadness and loss upon reading that Sheldon had passed away. I first met him when he worked at CRA and would later occasionally see him performing or attending various functions. He was always so kind, friendly and engaging and I know your sorrow is great as you mourn the wonderful man he was.
Sincerely.
Vi and Andy Kerr
Dear Thelma and families,
We’ve lost a beautiful and gentle man in Sheldon. I was so sad to learn of his passing. His genuine smile and heartfelt entertainment was certainly his trademark. I first met Sheldon when I had my large group of The Celtic Fiddlers at the Arts and culture Centre for an Irish show with The Concert Crowd He was amazed at the 20+ musicians! He, too, was amazing and so warm towards my group. I never forgot that. We have since played together along with Sean. Sean will certainly miss his friend and music buddy. I wish you every good blessing. Your memories of years together will always be with you. And know that Sheldon has his arms around you, even if he has his accordion strapped to himself!
God bless. A great man to all 💔🎶⭐️.
Thelma, family, and Sheldon’s family, we were heartbroken to hear about Sheldon’s passing. You couldn’t find a kinder or more gentle man. He always had that gentle smile when you were in his presence. I am so glad that I got to visit him as Sick Patrol.. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Sheldon, you are up there now singing Music and Friends with all the other Concert Crowd angels.
Noreen and Harold
• Thelma:
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Sheldon. I have memories in seeing both of you in Park Ave Church on Sunday mornings. I trust you will find the comfort and strength of the Lord at this most difficult time.
Don Hennessey
Sheldon’s obituary does justice to a wonderfully kind and talented man. Deepest sympathy to his wife and extended family and to Sean and Angie and his many friends. May he rest in peace.
To Sheldon’s wife and family, so sorry to hear of Sheldon’s passing, he will be surly missed by all that knew him. Joan and I first met Sheldon many years ago on our first trip to Ireland. One of my first memories I will always remember of him was we had a brief stop close to a beach to stretch our legs and a bathroom stop. We heard that familiar sound of the accordion and when we looked we saw Sheldon knees deep in the Atlantic Ocean in Ireland playing a tune with that big grin on his face!! RIP Sheldon God Bless 🙏🙏
You will be missed by so many💔. Condolences to Thelma and family, Kim and Todd and family. Lots of fun memories to cherish. RIP
My deepest condolences to Thelma, family and many friends. Your memories will be many to look back on. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Kimmie, Keith, Jacob, Jordan and all of Sheldon’s family, please accept my deepest sympathies at this terribly sad time.
Losing one so dear is the ultimate loss in your life and I know from experience that going through the loss and the aftermath is so much easier when you know that others share your sorrow. Having so many wonderful memories as you grieve will undoubtedly give you great comfort.
Sheldon’s mark on this world stretches far and wide. His music and that grin will live forever – the way that memories should.
Thinking of you all at this time. I will hold you all close to my heart as you walk this road of grief. Hugs from afar, Margie

I met Sheldon when I was a member of The Concert Crowd. Sheldon was a gentleman and a great entertainer. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to Thelma and his family.
Sheldon’s loved ones. Sincere sympathy on his passing. Sheldon was at true “gentleman”. I met Sheldon many years ago when we both worked with CRA. May Sheldon’s gentle soul rest in the loving arms of his Savior and take comfort in knowing that God’s orchestra has been enriched with Sheldon’s accordion playing.. He made those “girls” talk. Good speed Sheldon, till we all meet again.
Sending sincerest condolences to all of Sheldon’s family at this difficult time. Such a sweet man I met many years ago playing darts with Telephone Company, great memories and fun times and laughter was shared The last time i saw him we shared a great Newfoundland Waltz. May you Rest In Peace Sheldon and dance with the angels.
I was deeply saddened to hear this news. I first met Sheldon when we worked together at CIBC in 72. Ironically we would both retire from the same employer. A kinder person you could never meet. A steadfast ambassador for Newfoundland people, culture and of course music. To the family my sincere condolances. I hope your memories will help bring you peace.
RIP my friend
One of the finest people you would ever want to meet. He brought a lot of enjoyment to all who knew him, whether he had his accordion or not. A wonderful person.
Loyola and Maureen Hearn
We are so sad to hear about Sheldon’s passing. I have many fond memories of him over the years, playing the accordion of course at our family parties. One my fondest memories was on my son’s first Christmas, we took him mummering and while Sheldon played, he fell asleep to the music. It was such a special memory for us.
Thinking of you all
Jennifer Langmead and Ryan Burt

So sad to hear of Sheldon’s passing. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I had the pleasure of being in his presence a few times while he entertained all of us with his singing & playing his accordions. Of course we had to sing along as he ensured you did whether you could sing or not but he made you feel so comfortable it was hard not to sing along. He was a true gentleman & great Newfoundlander. Heaven has gained an outstanding angel as I’m sure he is entertaining them all. Keep your memories close at heart as you have many. God bless you all. RIP Sheldon god speed my friend.
Dear Thelma, family & friends, sending condolences to. all of you.
May your cherished memories, along with the love & support of family & friends, bring you comfort during this difficult time..
Sincerely, Theresa & Dave Greene
I met Sheldon at MUN back in the 1960’s. At that time he was bowler and we spent many hours in the bowling alleys at MUN. I lost track of him for a great many years until I became aware of his reputation as a musician and entertainer. Clearly, he was a very talented man who had a positive impact on those he came in contact with. I am sorry to learn of his passing and I extend my sincere condolences to his family and those who knew him well.
My condolences to Thelma and to Dot and all of Sheldon’s family. I knew Sheldon since the early days with his band Soirees when we played many of the same clubs and venues, a fine musician and entertainer who truly loved making music, a reliable down-to earth guy, what more could anyone want in a friend. Played with him a few times in recent years and he was just as if it was 60 yrs. ago when we met. Rest In Peace Sheldon.
I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Sheldon. He was truly a wonderful man whose warmth, kindness and music touched so many lives.
I have no doubt his legacy will live on in the many lives he touched.
May his gentle soul RIP! We have lots of special memories of him! Hope he’s havin a time up in heaven with all of my special family members! ! 🙏
Sincere condolences to his family & friends!
