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!
