Leo, one of four children including his twin sister, grew up on the family farm located near Cranbury. As a young man, he regularly travelled to Cowra to attend the local dances. It was there he met Cowra local Patricia, who was one of six children. After several years of conducting a courtship

between Cowra and Canowindra, the couple married at Cowra’s St Raphael’s Catholic Church on October 5, 1968. For their honeymoon, they travelled inland to Queensland’s Toowoomba. After returning, they settled down at ‘Pine Lodge’, where they continue to live today.

After a few years of marriage, Leo and Patricia were blessed with twins Felicity and Mark and in the next coming years they happily welcomed two more daughters, Rebecca and Carmel. Their family has since expanded to include five grandchildren: Jessica, Patrick, Elise and another set of twins, Gaby and Zane.

Their families are so incredibly proud to see them reach this wonderful milestone and that their love for each other is stronger than ever.
