I will be in Sydney to celebrate Leigh’s life on August 16th, 2006, in front of the Novotel Hotel, Sydney Olympic Park, HomebushBay. Last August 16, 2005 (and 2004) was a very cold and windy day in Sydney and as I left that evening to return to the States I realised I would be back at this spot on this day every year. For his friends who wish to share a thought with Leigh it was approximately five AM on August 16 th when he made his decision to leave – falling from the fifteenth floor balcony of his room at the Novotel that faced Olympic Stadium where he had played for Australia.
Rest In Peace that you could not find on this
planet. We started on the Internet together in 1995 and on computers
in 1991 and I am still on the Internet and you chose to move on.
Thank you for so many years connected with me on the Internet and in
Real Life. You are now so more fully connected to a new life that I
can not grasp so far beyond the pains and sorrows of this life.
