  4. In Loving Memory of My Uncle Leigh

    You were such a staunch man with a big personality who knew how to make everyone laugh (or get under their skin on purpose). He loved a drink, a good laugh, and, of course, his loud shirts. I always reminded him how ugly they were, but honestly, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.
    He was unapologetically himself, and that’s exactly why we all loved him. Rest easy, Uncle Leigh—you’ll be missed, loud shirts and all but never forgotten.

    Love You Always,
    Emma, Edward & Nellie xx

  8. Leigh, you will remembered as a family man to me. You had a heart of gold, dry sense of humour and lived your life to the fullest. I will never forget that infectious laugh, and many yarns we had. Thankyou for all those times you called in for a yarn and coffee. It meant the world to me. Your presence brightened up some of my ordinary days.

    You will remembered for speaking your mind and not putting on an act, which I respected.

    May BunJil free your spirit and ensure your safe Journey home .

  10. Leigh, you are like a brother that I never had. You always gave me shit, but I’ll forever miss the banter, your sayings and your songs. I will treasure the plant you gave me last year and wear the loud dress you guys brought me Christmas 2024, with pride. Rest in Peace Leigh-Roy, you will be sadly missed.
    Be good, if you don’t be good, be good at it.
