He also leaves behind several great grand-children. Predeceased by his son Luc and grandson Patrick. Leo will be mostly remembered for his love for his family, his love of life and great sense of humor. The family sincerely thanks the staff from the emergency and critical care units of l'Hopital de Hull, Centre de services sante de Gatineau. The dedication and compassionate care provided by Dr Jacques, Dr Sergerie and their staff is greatly appreciated by the family.

Dear Angele. Our deepest sympathies on the death of your dear Father. Whenever I met him, Leo was an absolute gentleman -- an old-world gentleman in the truest sense. I know how close you were to him. Our prayers are with you and your family.

DearYolande&family; We were sorry to read of Leo's passing,Pauline Beaudoin(Dignard) & I (Francoise Dignard).I have fond memories of living next door to your family in Embrun. My mother loved you all. She commented on what a good husband & father Leo was. I'm sorry that as first cousins we didn't have a closer relationship with each other Yolande, but as little as we had I envied the closeness you and Leo seemed to share. Pauline & my sympathies & prayers are with you.
