ATHOL - Lee Michael LeBlanc, 55 of Athol, died unexpectedly, Wednesday, April 20, 2016 at Athol Hospital. He was born in Athol, on December 29, 1960, the son of the late Bernard J. and the late Marjorie A. (Soucie) LeBlanc. He grew up in Athol and married the love of his life, Jeanne, whom he spent 30 years with. He was a call firefighter for many years for the Town of Athol Fire Department. He worked for the L. S.
