Jean Landry, aged 87, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC. Born in Dupuis-Corner, he was the son of the late Ovila and Dorice (LeBlanc) Landry.
Jean will always be remembered for his big smile, his
generosity and making everyone feel welcome and at home. There was
never a bad time to stop in for a visit, a chat or a drink during
"happy hour". The door was always open at Jean and
Geraldine's, no matter the time or weather. He was someone
you could talk to about everything and anything. He had a great sense
of humour and his laugh was unforgettable.
He was a skilled carpenter by trade and had a talent that
was unmatched. He built two beautiful homes, the first in Durham, CT,
where he and his wife Geraldine spent their early years working and
building a life for themselves. They enjoyed boating, going for
motorcycle rides and gathering with people who became lifelong
friends. The second home he built was in Grand-Barachois, NB
where they eventually returned to settle into the next part of their
lives. That house took shape over a few years and has been the
"hub" for many family and friends. A place where you were
welcomed and treated like family.
Generous by
nature, if Jean could help, he would. He helped many through the years
with different things. He Loved spending time in his garage and had
every possible tool there was!
A man of great
pride who will be missed by all those who knew and loved him. May he
now rest in peace.
He is survived by his brothers and sisters: Henri (Fernande), Jeannette Gaudet (late Anatole), Marceline (Wayne), Roberte (Dickie) and Lorraine, all of Cap-Pelé; as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Jean was predeceased by his wife, Géraldine (2026); two brothers: Léo and Armand; and a sister, Thérèse Gallant.
As per the family’s wishes, there will be no visitation. A private funeral will be held at a later date. He will be laid to rest in the Columbarium at Frenette Funeral Centre, Cap-Pelé.
In memory of Jean, a donation of the donor’s choice would be appreciated.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 2642 Acadie Road, Cap-Pelé, NB (506-577-3297).
