Pat and I were friends from the very beginning. We both sold on the line together for the original Westgate Vacation Villas. We both moved into the Training, Recruiting and Development department together, and there began our wonderful relationship. I was the young rookie, and he took me under his wing becoming my mentor and best friend. He and Janey opened their hearts and their home to me, and I can honestly say my love for the "oldies but goodies" came from the countless old black & white films we watched together. He was my father-figure and my hero. I will forever be grateful for his love & friendship, for his knowledge, training & guidance that have lasted me still to this day, and for the respect & honour I will always have for him for positively affecting the lives of so, so many others. I know he is up there free of any pain & suffering, and serenading the angels with his beautiful voice. May his legacy live on in the hearts & minds of us all - R.I.P.

I feel so blessed to have had this man in my life as a teacher, mentor and true friend and father figure. We laughed together so many times and he was my biggest supporter and had my back every single step of the way in a professional management environment that was predominantly male. I learned everything I know about sales from this extraordinary man and will be forever grateful and honored to have called him my friend...

My memories of you are many. Most of all I remember your smile and your sense of humor. Your teachings made a difference in my life. Always bright. Always kind. I always felt proud to say I was personally trained by you. But most of all I always felt proud to be your friend. A life well lived is measured by the contributions we made into others lives. I bet you exceeded all expectations. I will always remember you smiling. Be blessed. We will always love you and miss you. Rest in peace Pat. Thank you for everything.

The world has lost a great guy. Pat never met a stranger. He would walk into a room and begin to entertain us all (whether asked to or not!). I have lost my big brother. With love and sorrow, Aunt Meanie

I am so sorry for the deep loss you are experiencing. I have fond memories of the Pat Leiby from the 70s as he interacted skillfully with seven teenage and young adult offspring. He was truly a kind and caring man who led a remarkable life and left a legacy of kind and caring children and grandchildren. Thinking of you all.
