March 13, 1956 - November 24, 2022
It is with profound sadness that the family of the late Louis Bromley announce his passing surrounded by love at Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital on November 24, 2022.
Louis was born on March 13, 1956 in Roddicton, NL to Maurice and Theresa Bromley. He was the oldest of 12 children. He grew up on Fishot Island and later relocated to Goose Cove in 1970. He later moved to St. Anthony in 1988 where he remained until his passing. At a very young age he began his career as a lifelong fisherman; a career that lasted over 50 years. First he fished with his father, and later as an Engineer on a larger vessel. He met the love of his life Lillian 40 years ago and together they raised 2 beautiful children; Justin and Jenetta, and later welcomed the apple of his eye, granddaughter Carly.
Louis enjoyed life’s simple pleasures; time on the water, in the woods, a good game of darts, a boil up and was always up for a scoff and a cup of tea. A very kind and gentle soul, his family and friends were his life. He loved to socialize, volunteer and was well known as always up to foolishness. Louis was a man of character and strength; the latter was very obvious during his battle with cancer. He will always be remembered as a loving spouse, father, grandfather, brother and friend.
Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories are his spouse, Lillian; Son: Justin (Julie); Daughter: Jenetta (Reg); Granddaughter: Carly; Brothers: Don (Elva), Eddie (Sharon); Sisters: Joan (Morris), Bonnie (Tim), Angela (Barry), Shirley (Dale), Linda (Jeff); Rhonda (Todd), Bev (Lorne); In-laws: Judy (Wallace), Linda (Terry), Nath (Mona) and Jessie (Eric), as well as a very large circle of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and crew members. And of course, his best bud - his dog Buddie.
Louis is predeceased by his parents Maurice and Theresa, brother Tony, sisters Linda and Bessie and nephew Michael. In-laws Arch and Annie Larkin.
