elevated xtY8S It is with a heavy hearts we announce the passing of Norman LeBlanc (or Stormin’ Norman as he was known to many) on Saturday, March 26.

Starting out as an underage cook he soon transitioned to lumberjack, taxi driver, drywaller, Secretary/Treasurer, and later President of Local 675. Upon his retirement he became the owner/operator of multiple Subway Sandwiches franchises.
elevated xtY8S Beyond his work achievements his greatest job was that of family man. Whether it was home renovations, or finding the perfect used car (after months of scouring Southern Ontario), he was always willing to lend a hand. He was an ever-present figure at his grandchildren’s hockey or baseball games, and he never turned down dessert.

You will be missed
I am so sorry and sad to hear this. Norm was an amazing man and father. I spent the first 14 years of my life back and forth between the LeBlanc home and my own. Dinners, parties, sleepovers and pool parties. He welcomed all the neighbourhood kids. I have distinct memories of walking in the front door and him always sitting at the head of the kitchen table. He would give you a quick nod and a smile and then go back to whatever he was doing. Probably reading the newspaper for garage sales. Norm was a kind and compassionate man that loved his family deeply. Though I have not seen him for many many years, he left a lasting impression on me. My condolences to Laurie, Doreen and the rest of the family. Love Erin D
Thank you Erin.
This is a very touching note about my father.
So many wonderful memories with so many wonderful people in that kitchen on Louis Dr ❤️
Miles separated our families but when we got together, it was instant fun and good times the whole time. Mon oncle will be greatly missed by many. Thoughts and Prayers to ma tante Doreen and the whole family. We’re with you in spirit. Love to all, Denise
My deepest condolences to Norms family. He had a wonderful sense of humour and was extremely dedicated to his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I am so very sorry for your loss
Cindy, Harry, Drake and Alandra, We are so sorry for your loss. Your Grandpa/Dad was definitely a family man and it showed through and through. I don’t believe a hockey game was ever missed .. and always cheering from the stands.
He will never be to far away as he will now be looking down on you all and cheering you on in life from above.
My deepest sympathy for the loss of the LeBlanc family patriarch. May the love of family which he valued and passed on to all of you get you through this difficult time. Rest assured his story continues with you all. I’m thankful for the time I spent with such a wonderful family.
Our heartfelt and deepest condolences. Sending our love, Cousins Aurore Woods and Family.
