In loving memory of Leo Williams, 95 years who passed away on Wednesday, November 17th, 2021 at the Maison McCulloch Hospice, Sudbury. Beloved husband of Bridgette Williams (nee Bertrand) predeceased. Loving father of Debbie Rainville (Gates), Brenda Joncas (Ron), Denise Vallee (Sylvio), and Mike Williams (Linda). Cherished grandfather of Lisa Roberge (J.J.), Jeff Rainville (Crystal), Julie Joncas (Kim), Andre Joncas (Tiffany), Emilie Vallee (Jon), Stefanie Vallee (Carter), Dylan Williams (Jade), Bradley Williams (Malory), and great grandchildren Mia, Tessa, Pierce, Willow, and Tori.

Dear brother of Adolphe (Lucienne) both predeceased, George (Charlotte) both predeceased, Luke (Mildred), Frank (Christine predeceased), David predeceased (Joan), and Edgar predeceased. Dear brother-in-law of Harry Haider (Joan predeceased). Sadly missed by many nieces and nephews.
Leo was born and raised in Neguac, New Brunswick. He returned yearly to visit family and friends. Leo worked at Inco in the roaster department and retired from the transportation department. He was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus 4th degree and belonged to Ste. Anne des Pins Parish. Leo liked to tinker in his garage fixing broken things and was known as “the neighbourhood handyman”. He was proud of his card tricks and could play endless games of crazy eights and solitaire. Leo loved to entertain by singing songs from his favourite artists, Hank Snow and Johnny Cash, to name a few… Leo enjoyed going for coffee at the shopping center with his good friends Eric and Louie. Anyone who knew Leo knows that he was quite the jokester, he would tell you a story that would be so serious, only to have you laughing by the end. This man was many things to us and will be greatly missed by everyone he encountered. He will be remembered as a kind-hearted man who loved his family. We know he’s somewhere singing his favourite songs, telling his perfectly timed jokes and driving around in his meteor with the love of his life.
