Mr Priems (Leo) yourself and Mrs Priems meant the world to me growing up with Marilyn, Cindy and Kim. You opened your home and your hearts for a 4th daughter and I loved you both immensely! Your beautiful soul, the love for your family and the protection of your beautiful girls was admirable. Your laugh was contagious and your humour brought everyone together! You meant the world and will be greatly missed! ❤️

Thinking of all Leo’s loved ones,
With a full and loving life behind him, Lovely Leo is now reunited with Netty after time apart they are now together once again
Their love continuing bringing them peace beyond this world.

Thinking of all your family Leo , you were a great guy to serve with in Vietnam

Dear Uncle Leo,

There is something deeply grounding about the kind of man you were—steady, kind, devoted to your family and your infectious laugh.

We carry not just many memories, but a quiet respect and admiration for the way you lived.
Your visit to us in South Korea is something we will always hold close. In ten years, only four people made that journey to see us, and your willingness to come meant the world. It wasn’t just a visit—it was a reflection of your care, your effort, and the value you placed on family.

Those memories are now something we carry with us, thank you for who you were to all of us. You will be remembered with warmth and love always.

Deepest condolences to Maz & Graham, Cindy & Robbie, Kim & Jay, Dylan and Hayley.

Love Peter, Tara, Owen and Connor

A good work friend for many years
