LECLAIR, James (Murray)
Passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 14, 2013 at the Dorothy Ley Hospice just a week shy of his 83rd birthday. Born in Midland, Ontario on September 20, 1930 into a family of 11 sisters and 5 brothers.
Survived by his wife of 62 years, Helen, daughters Lynn (Gerald), Terri, grandchildren Grant, Scott, Jennifer (Mark), Karen and great-grandchildren, Ryan and Jaida. Also survived by his sister, Joan and brother Bob (Blanche).
Murray led an active life and enjoyed fishing, hunting and playing a round of golf with his friends. He was always building or fixing something, he was our McGuyver. He played hockey and was a long time member of the Etobicoke Old-timers Hockey Association. A true gentleman with a great sense of humor and a smile for everyone. He will be missed dearly by his family, friends and all who knew him.
At his request, there will be no service. A private family gathering will be held in celebration of his life.
If you wish, donations may be made in memory of James Murray LeClair to the Dorothy Ley Hospice.
