Dear LaBlanc Family,
Although I don't personally know you, I feel as though I do. Your mom/grandma, Pat, speaks so highly of each of you and is so proud of this wonderful family. From hearing of Bob's illness throughout the past weeks, I've realized what a strong and loving family he has. He was a loving, involved, dedicated dad who was very invested in his chidren and a loving, devoted husband who treasured his wife dearly. I can see that he leaves a huge whole in the hearts of all who love him. I am so impressed by the legacy of 'dad' that he has left to his family. I'm looking forward to meeting him in eternity.

Sincerely, Sylvia Lang

To The Family Of Bob LeBlanc,

Living in Florida, I didn't have the opportunity to meet the entire LeBlanc family, including Bob. I feel as if I know all of you though, through Gail & Bill. I'm sorry you have all had such a great loss. Bob seems to have touched many, many lives and his life will go on through his children, wife, Sophie, Bill and the rest of the LeBlanc family. God bless you all.

Heidi, Danielle, Lauren and David, We can't even begin to tell you all how much we adored Bob and what an awesome, husband, father, brother and uncle he was. There will be a great absence in every life he touched. Hold onto the precious years of memories he gave you and be ever so grateful for the chance of a lifetime by most; to have had the best husband and father you could have asked for. The legacy he gave you is much more than PRICELESS! He will be remembered and missed forever! All our Love, Dan, Whitney and Boys

"God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to Me."

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts
To prove to us,
He only takes the best."

Lauren and family, I love you all more than words can say. Over the years I have grown up with your family and I have never seen a more devoted and loving father than yours. I hope you find comfort during this difficult time, stay strong. I love you guys

My dearest friend Heidi, Danielle, Lauren,David and family,
Those who knew Bob know what a loss this is for you and your family.
Fathers of the world could learn much from Bob about what it means to be a "family man", by following Bobs example in life and death, and learn that those who live in our hearts never die.
Through these trying times, I will be by your side to help you seek comfort in knowing a man like Bob does not leave you, but will continue to share all that is ahead. You are never alone.
You are all blessed to have such a wonderful soul within you.
I love you all so very much.
Greta
