It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Léonard Vallée on October 29, 2015. Léonard was born on the family homestead in Laventure, SK. He was the seventh of nine children. Léonard spent his childhood on the family farm and moved to Prince Albert as a young adult where he married and started his family. The family moved and farmed in the Spiritwood area for a few years. In 1967, the family relocated to Saskatoon where he began a multifaceted career that included selling World Book encyclopedias, owning his own transportation company – Léonard’s Transport, and being a heavy duty mechanic. Dad loved life and enjoyed family and friends. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and was multitalented in the area of mechanics and construction, there was nothing he couldn’t do.
