Stefan Pletscher Obituary

Published by Comox Valley Echo from Dec. 9 to Dec. 14, 2014.
PLETSCHER, Stefan November 25, 1954 - December 2, 2014 With a heavy heart, we have to announce the sudden death of our beloved Stefan, husband, father, brother, son-in-law, uncle, brother-in-law and friend. Stefan lived his life with a lot of fun and good humor and with his lovely personality he touched many people's hearts. Being a chef by trade, he ran the Gaff Rig Restaurant, followed by developing a remote island. After that venture he established Island Timberframe which he retired from a few days prior to his death. Stefan also helped in founding the Rotary Club of Cumberland Centennial and was a member until his death. He leaves to mourn his beloved wife of 31 years, Annemarie, daughter Nicole (Toni), son Robi, brother Ruedi (Brigitte), nieces (Stefanie, Corina), sister-in-law Susi (Rene) and nieces (Emily, Sophie), parents-in-law (Muetti & Daddy) and many more friends and family in both Switzerland and Canada. You will be unbearably missed Steffi Baby, Daddy. Flowers are gratefully declined. If you wish, donations may be made to the Rotary Club of Cumberland Centennial in Stefan's name. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday December 13th, 2PM at Comox Valley Funeral Home, 1101 Ryan Road, Courtenay.

My deepest sympathies. I had nothing but the utmost respect for Stefan. He will be greatly missed.

My condolences to Annemarie and family. I had the pleasure of volunteering with Stefan in Unit 60 Comox Coast Guard Aux. He was a wonderfully talented man of great humility, who passed on knowledge effortlessly and with just joy. We will miss him.

I met Stefan through Island Timberframe in a sales capacity and he was truly a wonderful person to chat with while handing out flyers on my weekly visits. He was a busy man and yet always managed to offer a little of his valuable time. I especially enjoyed our talks about Switzerland. With deepest sympathy and so very sorry for your loss.

Though you were my boss in name, I valued you as a friend and there you will stay until we meet again on the side of some stream looking for gold
