Leroy J. Connolly
1945-2017
Leroy J. Connolly, a life long resident of
Stephenville Crossing NL, passed away unexpectedly on June 6, 2017
while visiting his children in Nova Scotia.
Leroy will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 45 years,
Barbara; his children Natasha (Corey) and Josh; grandchildren:
Mackenzie, Brennan, and Cameryn; sisters: Eva, Rona, Tina, Matilda and
Norma; brothers: Ron, Lawrence & Jerome as well as many
nieces, nephews other family and friends. He is predeceased by his
parents Thomas and Patricia and four brothers: Ralph, Harold, Joe and
Teddy.
Leroy was born in 1945, married the love of his life, and
raised his family in Stephenville Crossing. He worked as a welder and
spent most of his career with Western Construction, and most recently
with IOC in Labrador.
Leroy was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, neighbour
and friend. He enjoyed outdoor activities, whether it was roaming
around the woods looking for wildlife, trying to catch a fish, picking
berries, cutting wood for the winter or just out for a ride on his
side by side, he was always up for an adventure. Leroy loved a good
joke and was known to be a real prankster to anybody who knew him. He
had a heart of gold and if you met him once, you had a friend for
life. The thing however that brought him the most joy was spending
time with his family. It didn’t matter whether it was when
camping, puttering around his garage, sharing a meal, or watching a
movie, he loved being around his family. He always beamed with pride
when he spoke about his children and grandchildren, and had a smile on
his face when he was around them. He brightened the lives of everyone
that knew him, and will be deeply missed, by his family and
friends.
