Ronald Paul LeBlanc

Ron and I were close friends in the mid 70´s. We met on the ski school bus in WA. Later when he relocated from Bremerton to Virginia He invited me to drive across the country with him. It was a great adventure for me. I never knew about his work history since it was still classified at the time. What an amazing man. We lost touch after 1977, and just yesterday I thought I´d try again, only to find this obituary. Rest In Peace Ron.

Fair winds and following seas, Brother Ron. One of the key reasons I joined KA was Ron. Then it happened we were in the Navy Reserves drilling together. I like Ron went in the Navy, after graduation. Did not cross paths in our careers, but saw each other at KA events, it was like those 30 years had not passed. He was the same fine fellow. Hope to make it to Lafayette for the gathering.

T-Ron brings fond memories and joy. He was a senior at USL and I a Freshman. He was always up, unless it was after a Spanish test! T-Ron was instrumental in my joining KA, which I truely am grateful for the life long friends I made. He was fun and everyone liked socializing with him. I was fortunate to be based at McChord Air Force base, just across the Puget Sound from Bremerton, Wa., where T-Ron was based working for the Navy. We Salmon fished and shared cookouts. T-Ron was a special person and all who where fortunate to know him will always have a special place reserved in their hearts for him. T-Ron we will miss you brother. Jay Shelden

Saddened to learn about the loss of Ronnie, remembered as a KA Brother, Hi School friend and his always jovial and warm attitude. He always added a new dimension to life. I recall at the 50-year Hi school reunion in 2011, one of his first questions asked of me was if I was still a "practicing" Catholic as indeed, he was a devout catholic. May he be rewarded by God's Blessings as he enters the portals of heaven. Miss you Brother! Mac Moss
