Sydney
It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our Dad, Leonard Sampson, age 67, on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at his home in Sydney.
From Country to Rock and Roll, music was a big part of Dad’s life. He loved to sing and play guitar and enjoyed an evening of karaoke. Dad was a ‘Jack of Many Trades’, a great friend, and most of all, a proud father and Poppy.
Born in Sydney, Leonard was the son of the late Reginald and Beatrice Sampson.
Leonard is survived by the mother of his children, Carolyn; beloved daughters, Tanya (Graham) and Brittany (Travis); “Poppy’s Girl”, Margot; loving companion, Joyce; mother-in-law, ‘Mama Beryl’; brother, Joe (Patsy); sisters, Linda (Bob), Leona (Lloyd), and Goldie; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, Leonard was predeceased by brothers, Al, and Robert.
A celebration of Leonard’s life will be held at a later date at the Pier Community Funeral Home.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
Online condolences can be forwarded to the family at www.pierfuneralhome.com.
“Someday when we meet up yonder, we’ll stroll hand in hand again.”

Carolyn, Brittany and Tanya please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I met Leonard several years ago and it was clear he was the kind of person that would be an instant friend and we became good friends. He was truly one of a kind. I don’t know if we ever had a conversation that he didn’t talk about one or all of you in. I have never met you but I know how much you all meant to him and especially how proud he was of his girls. Words can’t describe how sorry I am at this loss and I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Carolyn, Tanya and Brittany: Sending sincere condolences to all of you during this most difficult time. May wonderful memories you have all shared together give you peace, strength and comfort.
So sad for your lost. I will always remember Leonard taking me to the drive-inn in the bus. Good times . Leonard will be sadly missed.
My condolences 💐 to all Leonard’s family. Especially to you Joyce. Hugs.
Carolyn, Tanya and Brittany,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the death of your father. We didn’t know him well but the few times we did meet, it was a pleasure. Leonard was a fine man and I know you will all miss him terribly.
