Henry Peter Leon It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the passing of Henry Peter Leon, 81, of Sydney on December 18, 2022, at home surrounded by his family.

Henry leaves to mourn his loving wife and soulmate Dorothy, of 60 years; his sons, Eugene (Samara), Francis and Curtis (Karen); his four grandchildren Micheline, Wyatt, Norah and Miyah and was looking forward to the fifth.
