Tribute

Robert J. “Bob” LeBlanc, Sr., 75, of Lawrence passed away Sunday, August 5, 2018 at Lawrence General Hospital.  Born in Lawrence, he was the son of the late Edmond and Eva (Drouin) LeBlanc.

Bob was raised and educated in Lawrence.  He was an ironworker and worked with Local #351 of Lawrence and Local #7 of Boston.  He enjoyed playing golf and was a member of St. Augustine’s ten pin bowling league.  Bob was also a coach for the South Lawrence West Little League and later acted as Player Agent. Bob loved going to his grandsons' baseball and basketball games as well as attending his granddaughter's cello concerts and grandson's guitar concerts. His grandchildren were the light of his life and they will deeply miss their "Papa." 

Bob was an avid Boston sports fan, and especially loved to watch the Red Sox. He also spent many Sundays watching golf. He was an handyman and did most of his home repairs as well as repairs in his children's homes. He would lend a hand to anyone who needed help.
