It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Floyd Leclair on Saturday May 8 2021, at the age of ninety, with his wife Margaret (Maggie) by his side, at the Chilliwack General Hospital.

Floyd is survived by his loving wife Margaret (Maggie), sons Dan (Irene), Marc (Pat), and Rick (Pauline), daughters Denise (Mike) and Julie. Predecease­d by his parents Celine and Wilfred Leclair and brother Gilles Leclair.

He will be miss by many, including his brothers Marcel (Lillian) and Bob (Pat), sisters Monique (Larry-deceased) and Louise (Joe), sister in laws Genny (Gilles-deceased) and Cathie (Allan) and Auntie Rita. Floyd was also blessed with many cherished grandchild­ren and great-grandchild­ren.

Floyd was born in Aylmer Quebec in 1931 and moved to Hamilton Ontario in 1947. He began as a stonemason and carpenter and started a distinguis­hed building career with multi residentia­l projects in the Hamilton area. Floyd worked and managed many projects throughout Ontario. Eventually, he landed in Whistler British Columbia with his wife Maggie and played a significan­t role in building the beautiful community of Whistler.

In his retirement, Floyd dedicated his time in the Parishes of St. Mary's, Chilliwack, St. Anthony in Agassiz and the Hope Catholic Church, where he was involved in renovating and building furnishing­s for the churches. He was an expert craftsman and his talent was reflected in all his gifts of exquisite wood creations made throughout his life.

Floyd will be greatly missed by all his family and friends. His family would like to thank Dr. Ian Kishi and the Chilliwack General Hospital for all their excellent care and thoughtful­ness.

Funeral Service to be held at a later date due to Covid-19.
