Gosselin, Leonard Emile
February 25, 1932 – April 25, 2016
It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden death of our dear father, Leonard, at Trent Valley Lodge, in his 84th year.
Loving and devoted husband to the late Shirley. Father of Eric (deceased), and daughters Jennifer and Carolyn. Special father-in-law to Robin. Proud grandfather of Alexander, Gabrielle, Kathleen and Siobhan.
Son of the late Joseph Emile Gosselin and Minnie Gregory. Dear brother to Jean McCosham and the late Joyce Sproul.
Leonard started his working life with the RCAF as radio mechanic. He served overseas for several years until he retired to civilian life in Cornwall, ON where he started a family. Leonard later joined Alcan Inc. in Toronto where he worked through to his retirement. Len took great pleasure in walking through Presqu’ile Provincial Park, working in the garden, woodworking and spending time with his beloved Shirley, the love of his life.
We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the many friends, wonderful neighbours and caregivers for their tireless support over the years.
Mom, Dad and Eric, you are all together now in Heaven. We miss you today and always.
