MEMORIES

Die lewe loop vreemde draaie met 'n mens; dit is ook waar oor hoe ek vir Leo - reeds in die jaar 2000 - ontmoet het. Sedert September 2008 was ons reisgenote en gespreksgenote; hy was my raadgewer oor korporatiewe sake, kinderopvoeding, risikobestuur, motorbestuur en -onderhoud (al het ons nie saa

I miss pa. I am OK if I get busy with life, but when I stop and think about him and look through family photos, the tears come and I miss him terribly. I miss the “Hello Dellie!” and the very tight and long hug he would give me when he saw me. He would then still hold me and look into my eyes and s

Wanneer dit kom by huldeblyke is daar altyd 'n mengsel emosies en herrinneringe wat in mens se kop afspeel; wat kies 'n mens? Wat los mens? Wat sê jy? Wat sê jy nie? ens. Ek dink wel daar is 'n algehele konsensus in dié sentiment: (oom) Leo was 'n man van formaat, en sy nalatenskap en impak op mense

from Johlene, Adele and Francois Leo has an amazing group of friends and family. The friends that walked the extra mile need a special mention from us. Big hugs for Cathy, Japie, Horace, Mark, Chris and the 317 Friederiche street neighbours - Leza, Tony and Rita. While we sorted out the house in

Preface : I've known some of this story, but finding it complete in detail on my fathers macbook is a real treasure! In my father’s cupboard there was a Leica. The small leather case with the Leica logo on it smelled like Dubin. Sometimes it did have a film in it – sometimes not. I practiced foc

Oom Leo het altyd goeie advies gehad al was ek nie altyd ontvanklik vir die advies nie. Hy het aangebied om my te help leer vir my learners, ons het nou nooit daarby uitgekom nie, maar ek is seker ek sou dit gekry het as hy gehelp het. Hy het altyd as ek ń partytjie of iets gehad het, het hy vir my

Today wasn't a rainy day, the sun was shining, albeit later than usual, in Gauteng... As the band Imagine Dragons' "Wrecked" was playing on Jacaranda 94.2, a notice to Tshwane and Jhb residents came through on my phone: Air Force Base Waterkloof would - on Thursday, 3 February - be hosting a SA Air

Dit is 'n koel, bewolkte en reënerige vroeg- Herfsdag in Gauteng en vanaand volmaan. Ek kom op 'n groepfoto af wat in Augustus 2015 geneem is met Tristan se 18de verjaardag. Op 'n foto op Mark Pilgrim, radio-omroeper, se sosiale media tydlyn sit hy in een van daardie bruin leerstoele waarin pasiënt

Leopold Marthinus...... Jy het altyd geglo dat as ek jou so noem dan moet jy in jou spoor trap want dan is ek kwaad oor iets (seker maar weer iets wat jy gedoen het of nie gedoen het nie!!!!! ) (: Maar nee, ek is nie nou kwaai met jou nie, net veral dankbaar dat ons so gelukkig was om twee pragtige

After presenting his 'off camera flash workshop' in 2011, Leo realised that MFFC was his photographic happy place and joined as a member. He quickly became the popular 'go to technical expert' in the club. His extensive knowledge of different cameras, lenses, trusty tripods and Lightroom was excep

Leo, my wife Ann and I came a long way together. We were colleagues at IBM, touched sides again during an aeronautical project and often met him as a dear friend of the Pretoria Photographic Society. The gallery of this website attests to the quality and versatility of his work. He often judged f

Lekker tye

Verlede jaar - dit was 'n Sondag - het ons Harties toe gery. Die dam het toe ook oorgeloop en al die sluise was oop. In gietende reën eindig ons dag met hamburgers en "craft"-bier by die Black Horse Brewery. Ons kon altyd so lekker gesels - oor alles en nog wat. Dit is een jaar later. Maandag, 14

In lieu of an in person memorial, we share our memories together of Leo. This is a short Eulogy I prepared for that day. Today we remember Leopold Marthinus Theron, who passed away, surrounded by his close family. Father My early memories of some activities we shared was going with my father to th

"... I wish that heaven had visiting hours I would ask them if I could take you home. But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best So I will live life the way you taught me, and make it on my own ... "... And I will close the door, but I will open my heart And everyone I love will know exactl

Ek sal nooit die aand in Maart 2017 vergeet nie. Ek was nuut in Pretoria, en het besluit om by MFFC Fotografieklub aan te sluit. En daar ontmoet ek Leo Theron, met sy ferm handdruk, warm glimlag, laggende oë en sonore stem. Algou het Leo my eerste mentor geword, en mettertyd 'n baie spesiale vertrou

Dalene (7 years old): Oupa Leo was very nice to me. He gave me a sketch book and pencils. I loved him very much. Dawid Vollgraaff (5 years old): I loved him and I want to talk to him but now I can't. I remember eating brownies with him. Lukas Vollgraaff (3 years old): I actually want to do stu
