LeBLANC, EDGAR - We, his family, sadly announce the passing of Edgar LeBlanc, 76. Born in Moncton, he was the son of the late Alexis and Anna (Robichaud) LeBlanc. Edgar passed away peacefully on Monday September 15, 2014, in hospital surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. He was retired from Transport Canada in Ottawa, where he had worked and resided for 40 years before returning to Moncton to enjoy his retirement. He was the beloved husband of Dorothy (Dot) Votour, and the loving and caring father of his daughters: Denise Busby (Steve) and Nicole LeBlanc (Bruce Enloe), both of Kemptville, Ont., and the proud Grampie of Abigail Enloe-LeBlanc.

He was predeceased by his two infant children, Daniel, and Lynn, and a sister, Pauline Kirke. Edgar and Dot were active in the Worldwide Marriage Encounter movement for 37 years, presenting enrichment weekends to married couples and religious. They were members of their church choir, as well as the liturgy committee. Edgar enjoyed bowling with Les Jeunes Loups.
