Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

Was just a young lad when I first met Leo in The Pas. Remember when he went to Wpg to get married I stayed in his little house on 7th st. I believe in The Pas . He had all his containers from fisheries and he was making beer in the basement he never told me about it and I put a book on top of the glass bottle not knowing what was going on. Two nights later I was in bed when it went off like a bomb. I never did get rid of the smell before he came back. Also remember his friend Lief and Jack Howard. Condolences to the family Leo was a great guy . - Posted by: Mel Martin (Friend from the early 1960s in The Pas.) on: Jan 13, 2025

When I think of Uncle Leo I will remember his smile and his laugh. As children we too loved when he came to visit our family as there was always lots of fun times. Uncle Leo had many interesting stories of his time spent in the outdoors. He was a kind and gentle man and he will be missed. Our most sincere condolences to his children, grandchildren and family. We will always remember Uncle Leo with love in our hearts. - Posted by: Pat Marchand (Niece) on: Nov 19, 2019

I remember Leo from the 1970s when we were colleagues at the Fisheries Research Board of Canada's Freshwater Institute (now Fisheries and Oceans Canada) at the U of M and have fond memories of working with him in the "Wet Lab". Leo was one of the good guys. I offer my condolences to Leo's family. - Posted by: John Babaluk (Former colleague) on: Nov 18, 2019

Uncle Leo was a kind and humble man, devoted husband, father and grandfather. As I was growing up as a young child, I remember his visits to our family. He loved playing with his nieces and nephew and was always happy and fun to be around. I remember the family gatherings at St Malo, (Aunty Ida and Uncle Paul's cottage) he was a quiet man with a big heart and always had a smile. My deepest condolences to his children, grandchildren and family, he will be forever missed, rest in peace dear Uncle Leo Love Didi - Posted by: Diane Lavallee (Niece ) on: Nov 16, 2019
