Immigrating to Canada in 1959, Leo worked at Kerr Addison Gold Mines as well as Manitowage Gold Mine and then ventured into the world of Construction in southern Ontario eventually becoming part owner of Patz and Leo Construction. As a successful businessman he was proud to help others develop their carpentry skills and had a large social circle to make cured meats and wine with!!

In his retirement after a few years living in Muskoka he moved back to Kirkland Lake and continued to share his love of making wine, eating pasta and helping friends renovate. You could find him most Sundays watching Formula One and talking to his family back in Italy.

I worked with Leo at the Kerr Mine in V-town. He was a skilled dedicated guy. He was was always joking and pleasant with the miners underground as he travelled along on his sampling beat
Rest now Leo. Your shift is over.

Leo's Family

We were so sorry to learn of Leo's passing. We only got to know Leo better in the last few years, as "neighbours from across the street". The few times he did call us that is exactly what he would say: "Wendy...Leo...from across the street". Oddly, we still look out our side window in the morning expecting him to be sitting outside on his chair.
We will definitely raise a glass of red in his honour tonight!
