LeBLANC, ROMUALD "RON"
1926-2015
ALS took our Dad away but God greeted him with open arms. Romuald “Ron” LeBlanc, 89 formerly of Dieppe, passed away on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at the Dr. Georges L. Dumont UHC. Born on April 30, 1926 at Memramcook Lake, NB, he was the son of Raymond and Lina (LeBlanc) LeBlanc.
He was a past employee of the DND Supply Depot No. 5, the NB Department of Transportation and a building contractor in Waltham, Massachusetts. Ron was also a 4th Degree member with the Knights of Columbus Council 1310.
He will be sadly missed by his four children; Victor (Debbie) and Joanne Bastarache (Raymond), both of Riverview, Paul (Eileen) of Moncton and Anita Hebert (Gilles) of Waltham, MA.; six grandchildren; Mark (Margaret), Stephen (Janine), Kevin (Jemalyn), Christine (Fabien), Nicole and Jason (Mary); eight great-grandchildren; Connor, Lucy, Abigail, Sydney, Mateo, Malec, Eva, and Mackaela; three brothers; Leonard (Louise) of Wolfborough, N.H., Ronald (Ella) of Moncton and Joseph (Rachel) of Dieppe; many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his wife, Rolande née LeBlanc (2014) of 70 years, one sister, Joseline; one brother Camille.
God blessed our Dad with many gifts: the gift of giving, humility, and a great sense of humor.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (857-1900) from where the funeral will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 17 at 4 pm. Visiting hours Wednesday from 2 pm until the time of the funeral. A reception will follow at the funeral centre.
In memory of Dad (Ron), our grandfather, Raymond, and of our cousin, Gilles LeBlanc, a contribution to ALS-NB and/or the Support for Champions Program ALS Society would be appreciated by the family.
Our Dad’s last wish was to “Love Each Other”.
