Leigh was the greatest manager, always there to help you when you're in need, never making you feel stupid and was always patient. Always brightened my day seeing him, if you had a problem Leigh was there. - Posted by: Danni (Manager) on: Sep 03, 2016

I have so many fond memories of Leigh growing up on Paulley Drive. I remember his love of comics and his unique personality. He was the first kid on the block to own a Nintendo. From building forts behind his house, playing in his basement or endless hours of hide and seek as young kids to hanging out in osbourne village without a care in the world as teens! I will always remember your beer bottle costume at my Halloween party! You were a big part of my youth and a friend I will never forget rest in peace my friend. My deepest condolences to Trish, Richard, Stacy and Rylee. Holding you all in my heart right now and sending you all my love.
