    The death of Leon Joseph Melanson, 95, of Amherst, occurred peacefully at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre on Wednesday, July 29, 2015.  Born in River Hebert, Leon was a son of the late William and Jane (Brine) Melanson.

He was a member of Holy Family Parish, a Lifetime member of both the Knights of Columbus and the Royal Canadian Legion.
    Leon was a wonderful dancer and was considered the social butterfly of Centennial Villa.  He was a very strong Montreal Canadiens fan and loved to listen to music.
    Anyone who has ever known or loved Leon is a better person for it because of his positive and inspirational attitude towards life.  He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.
