Edward H. LeClaire VIRGINIA BEACH - Retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Edward H. LeClaire, 77, passed away Nov. 2, 2008. Born in Auburn, Mass., to the late Alfred and Ozelia LeClaire, he was a retired U.S. Navy CPO with the Seabees. He also retired from the Public Works Center at Little Creek Amphibious Base.

He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Betty S. LeClaire; three daughters, Michelle LeClaire of Virginia Beach, Sandra LeClaire of Norfolk and Sarah Heisler and husband Kurt of Norfolk; and two sisters, Eleanor Erickson and Dorothy McGinnes, both of Worcester, Mass. The family would like to thank Dr. William Clark and staff as well as Dr. Anil Patel for their kindness and care of our father. All services are private. Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Bayside Chapel, is in charge of arrangements. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
