Rhéal
LeBlanc, 83, of Grand-Barachois, formerly of Petit-Cap, died
peacefully at home on Sunday, November 13, 2022, after a courageous
battle with cancer. Born in Petit-Cap, he was the son of the late
Aimé and Suzanne (Allain) LeBlanc.
Prior to his
retirement, he was a fisherman and entrepreneur as the owner and
operator of R. I. LeBlanc Trust Manufacturing.
He is survived by his
wife of 59 years, Géraldine, five brothers: Jean-Paul (late
Rosalie) of Halifax NS, Napoléon (Clara) of
Cap-Pelé, Eusèbe (Lorenza) of Petit-Cap,
Paul-Aimé (Karen) of Avondale, Éverard
(Francine) of Bas-Cap-Pelé; a sister, Norma Jacob (Omer) of
Cap-Pelé and a sister-in-law, Lorena of Shemogue. He also
leaves to mourn several cousins, nieces, and nephews as well as
friends.
He was predeceased by
three brothers: Bernard (2020), Normand and young Joseph as well as
two sisters-in-law: Aurore and Rosalie.
We are so lucky to
have had him in our lives. He was a man who enjoyed helping people
around him and serving his community. He loved being in the presence
of the people who were dear to him. He had a knack for making people
feel comfortable from his very first interactions with
them.
Special thanks to Dr.
Ève St-Hilaire, Dr. Bazinet, and the Shediac Unit team
(extra-mural program).
