Paul LEATHEM Obituary

I´m in shock after only hearing about this tonight. Paul was a work colleague that I worked closely with from 2021-23. Paul always one to call a spade a spade and wasn´t afraid to test the boundaries, was deeply respected by all who were lucky enough to work with and get to know him. Sincere condolences to his family and close friends.

Just heard about this today. very sad, I worked with Paul in 2012/13 and we got on really well, the guys on the Development Driller 1 nicknamed him 'Magnum' due to his great moustache and infectious smile. RIP Paul

Dear Kim, just heard. I offer my condolences. I admired you as a handsome couple.

Dear Kim, Gemma, Adam, Denise & John Kelly and all of the Leatham Family

Gone too early
Great memories of the early days in Perth , when we flatted and worked together .He was always ready for an afternoon beer down the Herdy and an argument about Ford vs Holden on Bathurst Day
He is now free to wind down the windows on his Falcon and blast "eye of the tiger"
