WATERVILLE – Leo Giguere, 88, left this world surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Waterville, the son of Corinne and Leo Giguere.

Leo enjoyed a simple but very rich life with his family. He enjoyed puttering in his vegetable garden and friendly conversations with dear neighbors kind enough to stop in to check on him. He worked for many years at the Ralston Purina Poultry Packing Co. in Winslow, as well as Harris Bakery in Waterville. In his younger years he enjoyed fishing, hunting, weekend card games and family trips to Canada.

Later in life, Leo sought great joy in caring for his cat Shelby, keeping his feeders well stocked, a hot cup of coffee and scratching lottery tickets. Above all else, he cherished time with his family. He spoke with great pride about the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren. He greeted each of his daughters at the door with a “Hi girl, how are you doing today?” and the twinkle in his eye sparkled with the visit of each grandchild or great grandchild. His family brought him endless joy.

Leo was predeceased by his parents, his older sister, Rose May Giguere, and the true love of his life Jacqueline Giguere. He is survived by his children: Elaine and Jeff Breton, Donna Boudreau, Diane and David Hall, Pamela and Sydney Mayhew. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Zachary, Sarah, Jacob, Nathan, Taijae, Abby, Alaina, Logan and Zayan.

Our hearts are heavy with the loss of him here, but we find great comfort in knowing he is with his best friend and love of his life, our amazing mother and grandmother Jackie. He departs this world in order to travel to a much better place and leaves behind a lifetime of fond memories for which we are all very grateful for and will hold forever in our hearts.

Leo’s life will be celebrated at a graveside ceremony for family and friends who have supported him over the years on Friday, October 21 at 10 a.m., at Pine Grove Cemetery, Grove Street in Waterville.
