May 27, 2023To my dad, rock and protector in turmoil during my life. You have been a wonderful father for two families. Isabel has bought you happiness and cared for you until bupa. I am so sorry for not giving you any grandchildren. You have walked me down the aisle a few times, praying that I found love and peace. You have been so supportive of my studies, watching me care for Joe’s parkinsons and lewy body dementia. I will keep the time we spent the two nights before you left leanne Michael and I until my own last breath. RIP dad. Love Suzie, Joe, rose, Harley and Frank my furbabies. ❤️💓

May 28, 2023What an icon in retail in traralgon over many years. Leo was always happy to see you and on for a chat. I would guess his sales records were awesome. Condolences to Isobel and family, Leo will be sadly missed. RIP Merilyn Chadwick
May 29, 2023Leo, you were one of our all time favourites. Always good memories from years ago when you were a scout leader and Russell was under your watch. Then there were the times in the shop looking for school shoes. As the photo shows the nice man in the shop was always very helpful and happy. The times with Isobel having coffee and talking old times and families of long ago who were known to us all. Your smile we will remember always, and the love you and Isobel shared was an example to us all.
May 29, 2023Pop, words are too hard to find to describe how much I miss you. From singing in the morning to giving me advice in life, you can not be replaced. Love you pop. Keep on singing up there.
Brad.
May 29, 2023Dad, so many roads we travelled down together. Good and bad. But a fabulous adventure we had. A great Dad, Father-in-law, Pop & Great Pop. You were my hero, mentor & my wonderful Dad. You will always be forever on my mind. Thank you for being with me to the very end.

May 31, 2023Condolences to Isabel, Sue and families.
I will always remember the chats and laughs we would have Leo every time you came into the Doctors.
I still laugh about the day we tricked Isabel at the Plaza when I moved you from the spot Isabel had left you in and we where hiding from her, boy did we all have a good laugh.
Leo Wright what a true gentlemen
Sleep peacefully LeoJann Wright

I remember how much Leo adored you. I have many happy memories at your home. I remember how much Peter loved you and Leo.
Much love to you and all the family at this very sad time. Thinking of you all.
Love LouiseLeo Wright was the most generous, lovely man. I was a friend of his lovely daughter, Sue, back in the early 1970’s. He was also fantastic with many young people in Chadstone – scouts, billy carts, employed a few of us in Williams the Shoeman, entertainer in his home (he was a brilliant rock & roll dancer). The Wright family really made my life very happy as a teenager, for which I am very grateful. Rest peacefully, Leo, and thank you. 😍
June 1, 2023Dear Isabel,
Deepest sympathy to you and all the family at the sad passing of Leo. Good people are never forgotten.Tony and Veronica
