      Leo J. Roux Fitchburg construction co. retiree; 80 FITCHBURG Leo J. Roux, 80, of Fitchburg, died Thursday, May 29, 2008, in his home. Mr. Roux was born January 13, 1928, in Fitchburg, the son of Eddy and Florence (Robillard) Roux. He worked as a millwright and carpenter for Crim Construction in Fitchburg for many years. He loved to care for his lawn, invent an easier way of doing things and tinkering with anything broken. If he didn't have the right tool for the job, he would make one. No need to go to the hardware store, a trip to the workshop would typically get the job done. He loved to travel with his wife and had been to Aruba, Hawaii, Australia, Figi, New Zealand, the Canadian Rockies, all over New England, Florida, California, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. They enjoyed the occasional trip to Foxwoods and Mohegan, and enjoyed their friends of many years. He leaves his wife, Claire L. (Perodeau) Roux; two sons, Denis P. Roux and his wife, Sylvia, of Ashburnham, and Alan D. Roux of Leominster; a daughter, Amy C. Walsh and her husband, Martin, of Fitchburg; a brother, Francis Roux of Clinton; a sister, Jean Roux of Fitchburg; and three grandchildren, Jacquelyn, Stacey and Thomas Roux. ROUX A Memorial Mass will be held Saturday, May 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Joseph Church, 46 Woodland St. At his request, his body was donated to the University of Massachusetts Medical School Anatomical Gift Program.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Joseph's Church, 46 Woodland St., Fitchburg, MA 01420 or VNA Care Hospice, 120 Thomas St., Worcester, MA 01608.
