Pierre Josefsohn Obituary

Pierre Josefsohn, age 68, of Solvang, Calif., passed away tragically on May 15, 2019, as a result of an accident in Santa Barbara County. A devoted family man and successful businessman, Josefsohn was born in Paris, France, on Dec. 21, 1950, to Benjamin and Yvette Josefsohn. After graduating from the University of Economic Sciences in Paris, Josefsohn worked in Paris and Brazil before moving to the United States, where he lived for 25 years.
Josefsohn is survived by his beloved wife, Marguerite; and their children, Remi and Margot; his mother, Yvette; his sister, Anne; Anne's children, Yael, Michael and Jonathan; cousins, Claude and Pierre Levy; and cousins, Hina and Guy Benjamin, along with their daughters, Tehani and Loana.
An avid flier, Josefsohn had a great sense of humor and spirit for adventure, with some of his happiest times occurring while piloting small planes between California and Alaska. Pierre will be greatly missed by relatives and friends throughout the world.
His funeral will be held on Saturday, May 25, 2019, at 2 p.m., at the Mission Santa Ines Mission, 1760 Mission Drive in Solvang, Calif.

Met Pierre on one of his many flights to Alaska when he stopped in at Ptarmigan Lake for a short rest to stretch his legs. It soon became a frequent stop for him; we were always thrilled to see his smile and hearty hello.
May your grief be gentle and your memories treasured.
