Some great memories from School at Horeke to continued friendship. Leo and Zora (Mr and Mrs Bush) were wonderful teachers and highly respected! Leo introduced us to music, and we enjoyed many trips away with him! Much loved and will be missed! Arohanui!

Very sorry to hear Leo passed away. He was my neighbor when he was at 11D Warren Ave. I used to help him with his Computer Troubles while he was at 11D and also till recently at his present residence at Ranfurly Retirement home. Leo was a good friend and neighbor. He was very fond of our children Denver and Anushka and always used to enquire about them.
Our condolences to Zora, Alison and rest of family members
