Obituary for Stephen Bernard LeBlanc
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stephen Bernard “Bernie” LeBlanc on Monday, August 21, 2017, at the age of 80. He was the son of the late Joseph and Ethel (Poirier) LeBlanc of Glace Bay, NS
Beloved husband of Elaine (nee Ketchuk) for 56 years. Loving father of Catherine, Stephen (Chantal) and Lawrence (Tricia) and loving grandfather to Martine, Stephanie, Nicole and Josephine.
He is also survived by his sisters Jean Doris, of Chéticamp, NS, Anna (Clifford, Sr.) Detcheverry, of Glace Bay and his foster sister, Doreen (Arsenault) MacManus (deceased Terry), of Antigonish as well as many nieces and nephews and several grandnieces and grandnephews. Bernie was predeceased by his brothers Wilfred, Leo, Daniel George, Francis, Daniel Joseph, Arthur, David and his sister, Sr. Carmella LeBlanc, SCH. Cremation has taken place under the direction of Burquitlam Funeral Home in Coquitlam, B.C.
Bernie got an early start in the Royal Canadian Air Force first as a cadet then as a private and was eventually sent to Moose Jaw to train as a pilot. He discovered a passion and affinity for flying during his service years in Manitoba on many different aircraft, including the T-Bird and the Sabre. He also served as instructor on the T-Bird, in Gimli, MB, where he met his wife who was a schoolteacher on the base. He moved his growing young family to Winnipeg in 1967 after he was hired by Air Canada. He later transferred to the Vancouver base and retired as Captain of the Boeing 767 after 30 years of service to the airline. He was a fun-loving, engaging storyteller and a gentleman through and through, in life and career. Bernie always enjoyed the game of golf especially when he could have a round with any of his children. He and Elaine also enjoyed travelling together during their retirement years in Abbotsford, BC.
Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 23, 2017. For details contact berniesmemorial@gmail.com
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., Alzheimer Society of Canada or your local chapter.
