Paul LeBlanc, 74, of Grafton, MA passed away at Tuft’s Medical Center in Boston after a brief illness on January 15, 2026.
Paul is survived by the love of his life, Christine LeBlanc; his sons Paul LeBlanc Jr. and David Hagstrom and his wife Adrienne; his daughters Crystal LeBlanc and her husband Jay; Danielle Hagstrom and her fiancé Jim, as well as his 5 grandchildren Kaydence, Wyatt, Kelly, Caily and Alex; 2 great grandchildren Zoey and Riley, and several nieces & nephews.
He is predeceased by his parents and brother, Louie LeBlanc, and survived by his siblings, Darlene Cadrin and her husband Mike, Linda Valis and her late husband Dave, Kenny and his wife Carole, Mary Ann Manyak and her husband Gary, Renee Rawinski and her husband Paul.
He was born in Worcester to Eugene and Eileen LeBlanc. Paul was in the first graduating class of Blackstone Valley Tech in 1970. He proudly spent more than 25 years of his life working with Steelcraft as a shipping & receiving supervisor. In retirement, he loved to go fishing, do word search puzzles and enjoy time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
Paul will always be remembered for his straightforward demeanor, his razor-sharp wit, and the one-liners that never failed to bring a smile. His sense of humor lit up every room, and his legendary stubbornness - unyielding even in his final moments - was a testament to his strength and spirit. He lived life on his own terms, and those who knew him will carry his memory with warmth, laughter, and deep admiration.
He will be laid to rest at a future date privately at Fairview Cemetery.
