  5. To 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. ❤️💓

  8. Leo, 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.

  10. Dad, 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.
    Sue, Mike and myself shared some terrific stories about life with you, at Bupa, a few things I didn’t even know about you, amazing man you were, & I’m sure you heard it all.
    A new journey for you begins now, till we meet again, love you Dad, James and Leanne xoxo 💙🙏

    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.

  17. Leo 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. 😍
