Leo J. Vaillancourt, 86, of Bristol, widower of Jackie (Martin) Vaillancourt, passed away on September 26, 2022 at The Pines at Bristol. Born on April 19, 1936 in Eagle Lake, ME, he was a son of the late Amiable and Blanche (Emond) Vaillancourt. Leo and his wife, Jackie, had spent 30 years together down in Florida, enjoying the sunshine and warm weather before coming back up north. For most of Leo's career he poured concrete, helping to build a sturdy foundation for many homes before moving on to become a machinist for New Britain Machine for several years. In his free time, Leo enjoyed taking his motorcycle out and getting lost on long, winding backroads. Leo is survived by his son and daughter-in-law Bruce and Lee Ann Vaillancourt; his daughter and son-in-law Tammy and Joseph Leary; his two brothers Junior Smart and Bob Vaillancourt; five grandchildren Karissa, Jennifer, and Lindsey Vaillancourt, and Jeffrey and Elizabeth Cullins; three great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Leo was predeceased by his three brothers Silvio, Romeo, and Paul, and his two sisters Mabel and Barbara. Leo's family would like to extend a very grateful thank you to the staff at The Pines at Bristol for the wonderful care they gave to Leo. A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 8, 2022, at 12pm at DuPont Funeral Home, 25 Bellevue Ave., Bristol. There are no calling hours and burial will be at the convenience of the family.
