Sad to advise Sir Dan Leahy passed away in Toowoomba late tonight. He had not been well in recent years. He would have been in his mid 70's.
Dan was founder of Collins & Leahy Ltd and was on the Boards of Steamships Trading Co and Air Niugini for many years. Dan was a nephew of the original pioneering Leahy brothers, Mick, Jim and Dan and younger brother of Markham farmer and former PNG politician, Tom Leahy, who now lives near Dalby, Queensland.
