RAYMOND LEONARD COMEAU (LEN)

May 13, 1944 – February 24, 2016

It is with saddened hearts that our family announces the passing of Len Comeau of Chase B.C. after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully with his loving wife by his side in Hospice on February 24, 2016 at the age of 71.

Len will be greatly missed by his wife Pat, daughter Michelle of Calgary, stepson Don (Connie) of Kamloops, grandsons and great grandchildren, sisters, numerous nieces and nephews. Len was born and grew up in Kamloops. In his late teens he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He later moved back to Kamloops and sold cars for 35 years, first at McAuliffe Motors and eventually opened his own car lot in Salmon Arm.  His many repeat customers were a testament to his knowledge, integrity and excellent customer service.

His great love was the home he and his brother built on the Shuswap, and living on the lake for many years before moving into Chase. He knew the area like the back of his hand, often exploring the back roads of the area and spent many nights sitting around a campfire. Len had a love of boats that included those he sailed at the lake and the many wonderful cruises he took. Len became a friend of Bill W and for many years took great pleasure helping friends in the program.

The family wishes to thank the doctors and support staff and for the wonderful care he received at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice in his final days.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel on March 16, 2016 at 1:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice.

 

LEN WE WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU BUT YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN OUR HEARTS.
