George L LeBlanc
October 25, 1945 — September 3, 2017
George L. LeBlanc, 72, of Gardner died Sunday, September 3, 2017 in UMASS Memorial Medical Center of Worcester, following injuries sustained in a fall.
Born in St. John, N.B. Canada on October 25, 1945, he was the son of the late Joseph L. and Anna (Leger) LeBlanc.
George was a truck driver employed by Miller's Paving of Leominster for 24 years, retiring in 2014.
He was a member of Annunciation Parish/Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church of Gardner. He was also a member of the Acadien Social Club of Gardner and the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Aerie 747 of Gardner.
George lived life to the fullest and on his own terms; whether it was eating lobster or hot dogs, riding a motorcycle, playing cards at the club, or watching the races. He was also known as Daddy-O, Grandpa George, Fred and Santa. George redefined the word family, and he was loved by many. The big guy with the big heart will be missed immensely.
