Lucien J. Bruwier

Lucien J. Bruwier, 87, of Navarre went home to be with the Lord on Monday, January 15, surrounded by his family. He was born on December 24, 1919 in Belgium to the late Henri and Elisabeth Bruwier. In August he celebrated 60 years of marriage with his wife, Mariette Mayou (Bruhl) Bruwier. He is also survived by two sons, Daniel Bruwier of Beach City and Francis Bruwier of Navarre, seven grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren and a sister, Mariette Crosvel of Belgium. He is also survived by many close friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. He served 7 years in WWII for the Belgian Military and was a POW for 5 years in Germany. In 1953, Lucien came to America to start a new life, with his family following one year later. In 1981, after 28 years of service, he retired as a lead-man from Nickels Bakery. He was an avid fisherman and will forever be remembered for his wonderful pastries which he often hand delivered, such as his Buche De Noel and cream puffs. Friends may call on Thursday from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. at Paquelet Funeral Home in Navarre with a graveside service to immediately follow at St. Clement's Cemetary. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make donations to the Paralyzed Veterans of America (7 Mill Brook Road, Wilton, NH 03086) or the American Red Cross as a returning favor for all of the packages he received as a POW.
