SALEM – John Joseph LeDuc Jr., 71, a lifetime resident of Salem, passed away peacefully at home on August 9, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He lived his life with his much-loved high school sweetheart, Judith (Tobin) LeDuc. Together they shared 50 truly fortunate and wonderful years of marriage.
