Obituary of Mr. Alois Leodolter

Alois (Louie) Leodolter, 92, of Scarborough, passed away peacefully on June 13, 2023 at Providence Healthcare Centre. He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Anna and his two sons Louis (Sheila) and Frank (Jennifer).

He and his wife Anna immigrated to North America from Austria in 1959 to make a better life for themselves. First settling in New York City, where he took his skills as a trained carpenter and left his imprint on various landmarks around the city, such as the George Washington Bridge and the 1964 New York World’s Fair. As a craftsman, he was always proud of his work. In 1969, they took another bold step by moving to Toronto to continue the pursuit of a better life for their family and to be closer to relatives.

Throughout his life, he has always been a devout Catholic, and was a founding parishioner and longtime member of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church. He can be called truly one of the faithful.

Special thanks to the medical staff of Providence Healthcare, especially to his nurses, Winsome, Kiki and Gladys, for their kindness and caring.

He was a role model to many and was a positive influence to everyone that knew him.

He will be missed.
