Joe to my rescue ...

There were many shrubs in an area between their home and where I lived on Hersom St, NB .. one day, noticing the shrubs were really growing out of control, I got the clippers and went to work, cutting back and shaping for strong, healthy shrubs.
His wife (Lorraine) noticed and did not think the same of my work and yelled how ugly they were and was "not happy".

Later that Sat, Joe came home, noticed the shrubs and went into the house exclaiming to Lorraine how great the shrubs looked and who did she get to do it .. yes, she apologized. The shrubs grew beautifully and healthy.

Thank you, Joe LeBlanc, for your friendship, kindness and great judgement of well pruned shrubs.

I had the pleasure of working with Joe until his retirement, always a class act. RIP Joe.

Between Mr. LeBlanc and my father, the children in the neighborhood had a football field, baseball field, basketball nets, bicycling and hills to slide on. It was a great place to grow up. I even had a fourth brother raised in a loving, caring home. Thank you, Joe. Rest in the peace you so deservedly earned.

Joe was my father-in-law for over 43 years. I am thankful for the love and kindness he showed me as he treated me like a daughter. I am blessed to have had him for a "dad".  He was the most giving person to all who knew him.  If you needed help with anything at all, he would do his best to be there for you, never asking for anything in return.

He was opinionated and loved an argument.  At times we would have the same opinion but still end up in an argument.  Afterwards, he would say "I'm not mad, I still love you!" We would then end with a chuckle.

He loved his wife, family and friends dearly.  He was so proud of the 4 generations of LeBlancs that he shared with his son, grandson and two great-grandsons.

He will truly be missed!


Uncle Joe will always hold a dear place for me.  He was so kind to my mother and my sister and I through the years.  I always enjoyed listening to his many stories about so many various topics.  He was a generous man who loved his family so much.  He lived a great life with Aunt Lorraine for so many years, their love stood the test of time.  Until we meet again,  Love you Uncle Joe. My deepest sympathy to Aunt Lorraine, Don and Sandy, Brandon, Rae and the boys.

Sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I enjoyed playing Golf with Joe and  the Whalers, which Joe organized and it still is going strong after these many years. May he Rest in Peace and God Bless his family.

The Lord has another infielder. Over and out Steve Canyon.

Our deepest condolences to Lorraine and the entire Leblanc Family.  
Joe was such an amazing man that would just light up any room when he entered. He was the reason my in-laws purchased their condo down at Sunrise in Sarasota FL. In my eyes Joe was like the Mayor of the Sunrise Community as everyone loved and respected him.  Will and Janice only went down to Sarasota for a few  weeks a year, however Joe would always look after the place and let them know if any maintenance or attention was needed.  Joe was much more than just a good neighbor he was like Family to us and when Stef, Chase, Liza and myself came down for a couple weeks during vacation Joe would come pick us up at the airport and bring us back to the condo. He always treated us like family!!
What was amazing to me is the Golf Book Joe kept for the Whalers Golf Club Members as he had documented every golf round score I shot in Florida from when I first started going to Sunrise back in 1997 up until his move back to New Bedford. Nobody could ever question or dispute my handicap when I played with the guys as he had proof of every round I shot which was amazing in itself.
He would always love playing cards with Wil, Janice, Chase and Lorraine when we would come down to visit. 
The Pinette & Silvani  family feels blessed and honored to not only call Joe a friend , but to also call him family as you were one of a kind!!  
God Bless you Joe and may you rest in Peace!!

Love the Pinette's & Silvani's

Lorraine, Donald and family we are so very sorry to hear of Joe’s passing . 
Deepest condolences to all of you .  
Nicole Medeiros and daughter, Michelle Letts 

We have such wonderful memories Of the Leblanc’s who were always there for us on draw lane. To Don,Sandy Brandon , Rachel , the boys and mostly to Lorraine our heartfelt deepest condolences ! He was a wonderful man to know and to love!He will most surely be missed 💜

It was a pleasure to have known Joe, a great friend and neighbor to my parents. Don and I were barely 5 when the LeBlancs moved to our street. It was always fun to be at their house, and he was a wonderful coach. After many years without contact, the last time I saw him was still like old times.  A good man who led a good life. May he rest in peace.
