Joseph’s Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that the family of the late Joseph LeRoy of Point au Mal announce his passing on Thursday May 12, 2022 at the age of 82.
Family left to honour his memory are his six children, Rose (Stan) Willette, Darren, Rod (Angela), Glenn (Patty), Beverly (Stephen) English, and Randell; grandchildren Ashlee, Michael, Joseph, Jacob, Amber, Alyssa, Matthew, Brandon, Chris, and Niki; great grandchildren Brayden and Nicholas. He also leaves to mourn his sister Patsy LeRoy, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and many friends.
Predeceased by his wife Evelina LeRoy (Benoit), the love of his life of 58 years, lovingly referred to as “Babe;” parents Frank and Sophie LeRoy; brothers Leo, Francis, George, Yve, Paul, Hughie, Johnny, Doug, and baby Joe; sisters Louise Duffenais, Rita Formanger, Rena (Florentine) Hynes, Theresa Lainey, and Pauline Young.
A husband who was loving, a father who was generous and hardworking. Dad loved the ocean and loved to hunt, passions which allowed him to provide for his family. We take some comfort in knowing that dad is reunited with our mom again in heaven, along with their furry companion, Tonto.
We would like to thank all the health care workers for the care they provided to our dad, “Joe” over the years. In keeping with dad’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be a Celebration of Life at a later date.
Gone Fishing
I’ve finished life’s chores assigned to me,
So put me on a boat headed out to sea.
Please send along my fishing pole
for I’ve been invited to the fishin’ hole.
Where every day is a day to fish,
To fill your heart with every wish.
Don’t worry, or feel sad for me,
I’m fishin’ with the Master of the sea.
We will miss each other for awhile,
But you will come and bring your smile.
That won’t be long you will see,
Till we’re together you and me.
To all of those that think of me,
Be happy as I go out to sea.
If others wonder why I’m missin’
Just tell ’em I’ve gone fishin’
