J. Leo Poirier
1939-2020
It is with great sadness we announce the
peaceful passing of Joseph Leo Poirier,
age 81, of Sackville, NB. Leo passed away on December 28,
2020 at the Westford Nursing Home with his family by his
side.
Born in Herdman, Quebec, he was a son of
the late Paul and Simonne (Pepin) Poirier.
Leo served in the RCAF and CAF from 1956
to 1985. He joined the RCMP in 1985 and served as a member
until his retirement in 1999. He was stationed in Ottawa for
several years before joining J. Division Shediac. He was a
member of the Sackville Curling Club, the Sackville Golf Club, and the
Sackville Snow Drifters Club. He was an avid bridge player
and thoroughly enjoyed traveling with family and friends. He
specifically enjoyed his summers spent at the cottage, where he
especially loved our family lobster dinners.
Leo will be dearly missed by his wife
Frances Beale; her children Charlene (Late Stephen) Pauley, Richard
(Sandra) Beale and Brett (Andrea) Beale, all of Sackville, NB; six
grandchildren Lacey (Jacob) Fisher, Jason (Natalie) Pauley, Brittany
Beale, Amanda Beale (Robert Claxton Oldfield), Brook and Abby
Beale. Along with five great grandchildren and his beloved
dog Rusty.
In addition to his parents and his
step-son in law Stephen, he was predeceased by his brothers Maurice,
Jean Guy and sister Betty (Roland) Tatro.
The family would like to thank the staff
of the Westford Nursing Home for their care and
compassion.
