WEATHERBEE, Leland Ronald – 83, Truro Heights. We are sad to announce the passing of our Dad and Grandfather, Leland Weatherbee, on Tuesday evening, March 15, 2016, at Elk Court, Brookfield. Born in Truro, he was the eldest son of the late Homer and Ada (Dartt) Weatherbee. Dad worked as a carpenter, working for his Uncle Russell and then on his own; his grandchildren will always treasure the little wheelbarrows and sleds he made for them. He loved to fish and enjoyed tending his garden.
