Anthony George “Tony” LeBlanc
1948-2019
It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden death of Tony
LeBlanc, 71, of Tracadie, Antigonish County.
Born in Dartmouth, he was a son of the late George and May
(Dort) LeBlanc.
Tony was an ironworker, working for many years as a member of
Ironworkers Local 736 in Ontario and Local 752 in Nova Scotia. He was
passionate about his work and took great pride in his job up until the
time of his retirement. Tony was known as a
“jack-of-all-trades” and could turn his hand to anything.
Family was very important to Tony. He cared deeply for both his
immediate and extended family, and he especially enjoyed spending time
with his grandchildren. Tony truly enjoyed the company of friends,
music, and a good laugh. It gave Tony great happiness to lend a hand
to anyone in need.
He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Theresa (Brow);
daughter, Rachael (Charlie), Antigonish; grandchildren Julissa and
Jaden; sister, Linda (Larry) Wood, Aulds Cove; brothers Robbie,
Antigonish, and Ralph (Hazel) Dort, Kelowna, BC; sister-in-law, Debbie
LeBlanc, Antigonish; and several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he is predeceased by his son, Robert
Anthony, in infancy; brother, Larry, and nephew, Larry,
Jr.
