Lefebvre, Elmore George Alfred (46-year member of R.C.L. Branch #133 & #52; 30+ year member of LIONS Club – Peterborough & Cobourg; recognized volunteer of Peterborough Minor League Hockey & Peterborough Minor Baseball) – Retired after 39 years Ontario Hydro Forrester
On Monday April 13, 2020, with his family at his side, Elmore received his “discharge papers” (his exact words) at Northumberland Hills Hospital where he passed away in his 87th year. He will be missed by many especially his loving wife E. Sylvia of 64 years. Dear father of Daniel (Helen), Karen, and Michael (Janet), he will be rejoined with predeceased son Kevin. Sadly, missed by many grandchildren and great grandchildren; too many to name here. Son of pre-deceased parents Martha, Henry & stepfather Isaac Boyce. Brother of Ruth Fawcett and predeceased siblings Rose-Marie Blower, Roger, Pauline Jones, Edith Peters, Richard Boyce.
Elmore’s final months were filled with much pain and suffering as his mobility deteriorated. Regardless of this pain, his sense of humour and desire to make people smile remained resolute. Thank you to Dr. Mule and the medical team at NHH for laughing with Elmore while sharing their compassion & support through his final days. Many people are unaware of all the charity and goodwill provided by Elmore and Sylvia throughout the years volunteering and supporting the communities in which they lived.
In lieu of donations or flowers we ask that you simply continue what Elmore has done throughout his life, HELP SOMEONE IN NEED! Pay it forward please. Many have asked for guidance on donating; Elmore hates seeing people hungry, so if you donate food or time to your local food-bank he will be looking upon you with a smile!
Considering COVID-19 we will forego a memorial service.
Thanks for the great laugh we had together
Sorry about your lost, A donation to Saint Vincent DE Paul food bank will be made in his name Sylvia stay well

One of the highlights of my high school years was spending time at the Lefebvre household as a friend of Mike’s. I always felt like a welcome part of the extended family. I will never forget the kindness of Elmore and Silvia. I’m saddened to hear of Elmore’s passing. Love & condolences from my family to yours. Sid Raddalgoda
My first encounter with Elmore was in the crew room at Peterborough Area Office at the pre-work euchre games back in mid-1960's. All the early risers played a few hands before work. Always good humored and pleasant, he loved to tease we young lines guys about how little work we'd get done compared to the forestry guys. It was pleasant to meet him at the ball tournaments and retirement functions throughout the ensuing years. My condolence to all of his family. RIP Elmore!
