John Loeffen (July 23, 1939 – February 9, 2025)
With heavy heart, we sadly announce the passing of our loving and supportive patriarch, John Henry Loeffen on Sunday February 9, 2025. After a battle with pulmonary fibrosis, in his 86th year, John passed away peacefully surrounded by family and loved ones. Born in Cuijk, Holland, on July 23, 1939. John, along with his brothers and sisters immigrated to Canada in 1951. They settled in North Bay, Ontario where he met his first wife, Diane Gravelle. Together, they had two children, David and Kim. In 1988, John remarried to his current wife of 36 years, Gail Loeffen (Tresise). John is survived and will be greatly missed by his wife, life partner and best friend, Gail Loeffen; children David and Kim Loeffen, and stepchildren Diana (Glen), Carrie (Shawn), and David (Tanya) Scattergood; grandchildren Koty, Amanda, Kirsten, Elizabeth, Josh, Matthew, Hannah, Ewan, and Rachel; and great grandchildren Brayden, Nevaeh, Kameron, Khloe, Beau, and Kolton. John is predeceased by siblings: Tony, Jules, Pete, Meintje, Ria, Lambert and Leo. Survived by siblings Bill, Jackie, Annette, Frank and Larry. John was a positive role model and mentor for many young people in Oshawa through the Eastview Boys and Girls Club, and extremely active with the Senior Centers in Oshawa and Rikken Card Club (there will forever be an ‘empty’ seat the card table). He will be missed by many.
