Leonard Balfour

Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (13:51): Over the past few weeks Greater Shepparton has lost three of our most loved and respected residents. Len Balfour was a highly regarded and much-loved member of the Mooroopna community. Len was the owner of Balfours buses and was known for his generosity in supporting many organisations and individuals in the Mooroopna community. Len was the Mooroopna Citizen of the Year in 2020, a former captain of the Mooroopna fire brigade and a Paul Harris Fellow. Len will be sadly missed, which was evident at his funeral, which was attended by more than 1500 people. I extend my condolences to his wife Leonie, the Balfour family, Len’s friends, the members of the Mooroopna fire brigade and the Mooroopna community. Vale, Len Balfour.
