LECLERC, Chester – A local contractor and founder of Chester Leclerc Limited (1955), has been chosen to head up the new Heavenly Estates and
is now building homes for the angels. Chester passed away at St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre, Cornwall on Saturday May 5, 2018 at the age of 86, after a long battle with Alzheimer disease. Throughout it all he managed to keep his sense of humour, smiling, dancing and playing the harmonica. Chester was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He leaves his wife of 64 years Eileen (née Rovert) Leclerc; his sons, Wayne (Myra) of British Columbia, Michael (Patricia) of Long Sault and Jeffrey (Sandra) of Cornwall; his grandchildren, Cory (Sheena), Kelly, Linzi (Alex) and Riley who loved him dearly and will fondly remember their checker games with grandpa. His great grandson, Gibson filled his heart with joy and excitement. Loving son of the late Fred and Rose (née Gagnon) Leclerc. Dear brother of Bob (Joyce), Louis (Eileen), Elmer (late Collette), Judith Duchesne (Pierre), Freda Fraser (Geo), and Jeannette Atmanshofer. Predeceased by his siblings Rolland (late Evelyn), Jean (late Velma), Joanne Mulhern (Brian), Mabel Godbout (late Raoul), and Laurie Gillespie (late Mark). The family wishes to thank the staff, Chaplain Reverend Raymond Dumoulin as well as the residents and their families at St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre for their exceptional care. There will be no visitation. Rite of Committal at a later date in St. Lawrence Valley Cemetery, Long Sault. If so desired contributions in his memory to St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre or the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated by the family. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Wilson Funeral Home 822 Pitt Street, Cornwall. Online messages of condolence may be made in the obituary section of: www.wilsonfuneralhome.ca
