ALOYSIUS JOSEPHUS

鈥淎.J.鈥� LEFEBER

October 2nd, 1927 鈥� September 4th, 2004

鈥淟ou鈥� passed away peacefully to be with his Lord on September 4th, 2004 at St. Joseph鈥檚 Hospital. He will be missed by his loving wife Mini, children; Jan (Jane), Nancy (Stan) and Rudy (Leslie), grandchildren; Damera, Tessa, Byron, Dustin, Kyler and Jesse. He also leaves a sister Annie and brothers Joh and Jos. Louie was born in Holland and started his career as a baker at an early age. In 1956 the family emigrated to Canada and settled in Victoria, B.C. Having worked as a baker for others, Lou fulfilled the ambition of owning his own bakery in 1967 which started a string of stores in the Victoria area. Lou then moved to the Comox Valley in 1978 where he began AJ鈥檚 Bakery and Coffee Shop. 鈥淎J鈥� as he was known to many, loved fishing, aquariums, birds, and in general building things from fishponds to renovating houses. His favorite saying was 鈥� I don鈥檛 have time, I鈥檓 too busy鈥� although he would always be there to help anyone out. Louie fought a long, courageous fight with cancer and heart disease. We will always love you Pap and will miss you always. A Service in remembrance of his life will take place from COMOX VALLEY FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM, 1101 RYAN ROAD on Saturday, September 11th, 2004 at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Peter Rabey officiating, followed by fellowship and refreshments in 鈥淭he Garden Room and Outdoor Patio鈥� of the funeral home.
