On the evening of June 7, 2021, Ted Paul Leblanc departed this life to meet his beloved wife, Helen, in eternity. Those who knew Ted knew that he always had a joke to tell, and a song in his heart. His vibrant personality led to a late-in-life discovery of a love for acting on the local theatre stage. Ted's time as a sailor in the United States Navy later served him as a towboat pilot for over 30 years, as well as one of his most favorite careers, the Captain of the Vermilion Queen River Boat. Ted's early years were spent living on the Sugar Mill Plantation in Patoutville. His time spent in the Navy brought him and his wife, Helen together. They enjoyed over 50 years of marriage, raised five of their own children, and countless others in their neighborhood. 
He is survived by four sons, Darrel LeBlanc of West Virginia, Donald Bolin and his wife, Rachel of Lafayette, Raymond LeBlanc of Abbeville and Eddie LeBlanc and his wife, Rebecca of Leroy; one daughter, Annette LeBlanc of Cankton; three sisters, Audrey Bourgeois of Jeanerette, Lillian Bryant of Bayou Jack and Alecia Silas of St. Martinville; nine grandchildren, Donnie, Shoheen, Reiko, Kyle, Garrett, Coy, Lindsay, Dillon and Julie; numerous great grandchildren; and numerous great-great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Helen Westmoreland LeBlanc; one brother, Minos LeBlanc; and his parents, Emile LeBlanc and the former Eunice Martin.
