I am very sorry to learn of your loss. I remember many stories from my father, Richard A. LeBlanc, about Uncle Junior. I am Richie and Genevieve's oldest daughter. I was born on Junior's birthday (April Fool's Day) you see, so every year my dad talked about him on OUR day! Mary Ellen and I miss our dad and we missed the opportunity to get to know the LeBlanc family better. I can be reached at: [email protected]
Best Regards, Michelle (Shelly) Marie LeBlanc Gross, and family

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Ruth and all of the family. I will always remember Junior as he and my father Leo were best friends. I can already see them laughing up in heaven.

To my aunt Ruth and my cousins, I extend deepest sympathy. I'm so glad I visited last year and got to see "Uncle Junior" and visit your house. It brought back memories of all the fun times (we spent growing up) visiting your house. Lots of bar-b-ques and summer fun! Uncle Junior's sense of humor is the first thing I think of when remembering him, he was always a kidder! Love, Wendy
