RIVERSIDE, CA — The ashes of Henry Lefevbre were finally laid to rest at a veterans cemetery in Riverside, U-T San Diego reported.
The Nov. 21 story stated that Lefevbre, who died in 1995, became a minor celebrity last month after his ashes were left at the vacuums of OB Suds carwash. A grandnephew finally picked up the ashes from a business association last week.

Family thought that Lefevbre’s remains had been buried at a cemetery where his wife and mother were interred and where a mock ceremony was held.
