He completed elementary school in 1941, and entered high school in the city of Zagreb while living in boarding school. When WWII broke out, Yugoslavia was occupied by the Germans and Croatia became an independent state. In 1942, he was evicted from high school for not saluting a math professor, who was also a high ranking official. After WWII, Tito's Yugoslavia was created while Leon entered a special program, graduating in 1949 before entering the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Forestry. Leon excelled in sports and was a member of the national field hockey team. He left Yugoslavia in 1953 after not returning from a competition in Germany. In 1955 he immigrated to Canada and in time made his home in Kitimat, BC where he was fairly successful. He had a family who tragically perished. In 2015 Leon was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer and given 8–12 months to live. He attempted suicide, but failed when he could not find his gun clip. He took the hormone therapy, survived his cancer and today he is shitty-well, thank you!view less
