We Remember
LETOURNEAU, Robert Edward Joseph
November 22, 1941 — January 20, 2014
During the week of January 16th, Bob Letourneau, known to many as ‘the appliance man’, fulfilled a life-long dream of going ice-fishing in the Yukon with his best friend. He returned a very happy man, full of his fishing stories and in awe of the North Country. Bob died the morning after he returned. He leaves behind his loving wife Chris and her family; his son D’Arcy, his brother Conrad and sister Colette and their spouses; three biological grandchildren and eight step-grandchildren; and his two most precious furry friends – Ming and Chai, his beloved Shih Tzus. The family wishes to thank Dr. Hignell, Dr. Koss and the medical and support staff at the Guisachan Family Medical Clinic for their care, kindness and understanding over the past several difficult years. As well, we would like to thank all the first responders who attended to Bob. Friends and family are invited to a celebration of Bob’s life on Sunday, May 18, 2014 at Eagles View Club House, 4350 Ponderosa Drive, Peachland, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. For those wishing to send a condolence, photos or share memories, may do so by scrolling down this page to the area called “Share Your Condolences.”
