brother Hugh, sister-in-law Marg and niece Sandy, his brother’s-in-law Les

Leigh was always a huge part of his
daughter’s life and later on, his son-in-law’s and grandchildren. He loved being a great grandfather to three
amazing kids. His eyes would light up
whenever they were around.
Dad spent a lifetime building memories with
his family and dear friends. He loved to
go to the casino, playing skipbo with Pat and Barb, going fishing and camping
with family and spending time with his furry friends Rambo and Teeka.
The family would like to express heartfelt
thanks and appreciation to the nurses and Dr’s of 5 South at RIH who went above
and beyond in their care of dad. We
would also like to send a huge thank you to the nurses and staff at the
Hamlets, both in the Assisted Living area and the D2 staff for their
exceptional care of dad. Special thanks also to Dr. Cribb and Dianne for their
support and care.
As to Leigh’s wishes there will be no
formal service. The family would like to
thank all the family and friends who made Leigh’s life so full.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made
to the Alzheimer’s Association, the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of the
donor’s choice.
