1934-2017
LeBlanc, Leo
Gordon (PO2 RCN Ret’d) – Age 83 of New
Glasgow, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, October 1,
2017, in Richmond Villa Nursing Home, RCF section, St.
Peter’s, where he was the President of the Residents
Counsel. Born in Margaree Harbour, he was a son of the late George T.
(White) and Mary V. (Samsom) LeBlanc.
Leo served over 18 years in the Royal Canadian
Navy, retiring as a Petty Officer 2nd Class. He
loved serving his country and traveling the open seas. He fished
lobster for awhile until he finally became a member of the Michelin
family for the rest of his career. He was a talented poet to
which his words had meant so much. An avid sportsman, he loved fishing
and hunting almost as his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. He
was truly a devoted Leafs’ fan for many years, showing the
real meaning of staying true to who you believe in.
Leo is survived by his sons, Daniel (Katherine) LeBlanc,
Edmonton, Alta.; George (Garry) LeBlanc, Halifax; John
(Heather) LeBlanc, New Glasgow; daughters, Evelyn “Edie”
LeBlanc, Spruce Grove, Alta.; Patricia (Charles) Benoit, Pomquet;
several brothers and sisters; nieces and nephews; grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife of 61 years,
Evelyn Mellissa (Pye) LeBlanc; sons, Thomas and James LeBlanc;
brothers, Francaise and Patrick Le Blanc; and sister, Matilda
O’Leary. He will be sadly missed by his grandchildren,
Kelcey LeBlanc, Karl Landry, and Leo LeBlanc.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Dennis
