Leo George Heroux's Obituary
LAKE GEORGE – Leo G. Heroux, 94, of Ledgeview Dr., Lake George, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, May 26, 2015, at his home with his loving wife by his side.
Born Feb. 26, 1921 in Cohoes, he was the son of the late Hector and Mary Jane (Lanoe) Heroux.
Leo enlisted in the United States Marine Corps April 11, 1944, serving during World War II, being honorably discharged Nov. 18, 1945.
He married the love of his life, Eva Remillard, in Cohoes on May 12, 1940 and together raised three wonderful sons. They were communicants of Christian Missionary Alliance in Gansevoort. This May Leo and Eva celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary with family near and far.
He worked as a long distance truck driver for various companies, and like to "putter around" at his workbench, taking scenic drives, and spending time and traveling with his beloved Eva.
After his retirement, many wonderful summers were spent at Evergreen Campground and eventually Ledgeview Campground in Lake George. Leo enjoyed greeting visitors to the park and was affectionately known as "the mayor" of Ledgeview. He loved the pine treed setting so much that their permanent home was built in Ledgeview Village.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his son, Richard Heroux; a grandson, Matthew Heroux; three sisters, Aldea Purcell, Dora St. Pierre, and Celia Marshand; and one brother, Henry Heroux.
Survivors include his wife, Eva Heroux of Lake George; two sons, Gary (Mary) Heroux of Maine, and Leo (Marion) Heroux of East Nassau, N.Y.; a daughter-in-law, Marie Heroux of Colorado; they were blessed with 7 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
A memorial service will take place at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 1, 2015 at Baker Funeral Home, 11 Lafayette St., Queensbury, NY 12804 with the Rev. Tom Young officiating.
Burial, with military honors, will be private at the convenience of the family at Gerald B. H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery.
