LEBLANC, Rolland

Passed away peacefully with his wife at his side, at the Welland Hospital on May 29, 2018, at the age of 78. Beloved husband of Joan (née Morningstar). Loving father of Joanne (Sylvie), Linda (Lonnie), Robert (Hanna). Loving stepfather of David (Yvonne), Daniel (Jennifer), Danna (Carlo) and Debby (Craig). He will be missed by his brother Lucien (Anita) and sister Pauline (the late Fred) and sister-in-law Shirley. Cherished papa of nine grandchildren; Lyle, Sandra, Bradey, Scott, Jake, Evan, Cole, Melanie and Victor. Predeceased by his parents Henry and Lucia (née Saumure), by his first wife Rollande (1997) and brother John.

Rolly was always making sure to infuse humour and laughter into everything he did. His mission was to make as many people as possible smile. Rolly enjoyed fishing, camping and building anything. His real passion was his love and dedication to his family.
