Leonard Robitaille

With great sadness, but left with warm memories, we mourn the loss of a loving husband, dad, grandpa, brother, uncle and great uncle, remembered for his easy laugh, genuine love of people, friendly giant of a person, who loved children, and would start a conversation with them wherever he was. Missing him already, are his loving wife Earlene, his children Larissa (James), Chris (Ness), Gregory (Julie) and Elise (Chris), his beloved grandchildren, Hannah, Sebastian, Emma, Jacob, Simone, Maxwell, Becca, and Isabelle and his brother Ray (Norah) and brother-in-law Brian and numerous wonderfully caring, nieces & nephews. Predeceased by his sisters Theresa, Eva, Lucy, Margaret and brothers, Louis, Andrew, Art, and Ed. Len was the 8th child of ten, born to Arthur Robitaille and Leonie Laurin in Midland, Ont. After Art College, Len worked in fine fabrics with Sanderson's of England, calling on interior decorators, architects & designers, later forming the Table Company, making boardroom tables for the same clientele and universities.
