FRANCESCO (Chich) Leo passed away tragically on May 14, 2012, aged 81. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Maria, daughters Angela and Giovanna, son-in-laws Vito and Franco and four grandchildren. His funeral service was held on May 21 at Holy Spirit church, at New Farm, where more than 600 guests from the community attended. He was buried at Nudgee Cemetery, on Brisbane’s northside. Frank was born on June 4, 1930, in San Gregorio, Italy. He relocated to Australia in search of a better life for his family in 1967 and had lived at New Farm since. He is described as a simple, loving man who deeply believed in family values and enjoyed nothing more than spending time with his family. He had a particularly soft spot for fishing. Rarely would Frank be spotted without his fishing rods, which he would carry in a handmade trolley as he cycled to his favourite spot along Brisbane River, where Cutters Landing now stands. Frank was a clever thinker. He firmly believed in the power of sustainability and always found economical ways to recycle materials to use around his home and took on many building projects. He and Maria shared a passion for gardening. Their yard flourishes today with fresh and organic Italian lemons, lettuces, eggplants, chillies, basil,
The late Francesco Leo oregano and snow peas. Frank also enjoyed winemaking so much he would make the six-hour return trip to Stanthorpe, on the border of Queensland and New South Wales, to pick his own grapes to make his own wine. Frank will be remembered by his neighbours in the New Farm community as an iconic member of the peninsula. Countless stories of his cheerful, welcoming personality have been shared, as he often stood at his gate, waving hello to passersby. His wife and family would like to express their sincere gratitude and appreciation for the overwhelming support they have received since Frank’s death.
