Leith, you are remembered for your diligent work ethic, your persona for going the extra mile, your attention to detail, and your passion for your pursuit of electronic engineering excellence.

I will forever have fond memories of the wind wand projects we collaborated on and the success we both shared upon completion.

Sincere condolences to Karin and Leith´s family, much respect to the staff and management at Wells Electrical.

I'm grateful that I reconnected with you in recent years, through theatre, other events and a crazy time photographing lightning. I still have fond memories of the time we had when we worked together at Cocoran Bros, especially the trips away working on bitumen trucks. So sad they we couldn't share more time together. Your energy and enthusiasm for everything will be missed. RIP Leith.

It´s hard to come to terms with the fact you´re gone and I just saw you 2 weeks ago at East End. Thankful for all your photography skills and amazing photoshoot ideas over the years and your dedication to the pageantry industry. You were an amazing person. To the family my condolences and thoughts are with you at this hard time. Rest in peace Leith

Hadn't seen you in person for a long time Leith, but I remember you were always very good to me when we were young and were first acquainted. Over the last few years I really enjoyed seeing your updates and utterly incredible photography of the night skies and people (and shared the occasional inside nerd joke usually about Ohms law!).

So sorry that you've gone so soon.

Leith oh dear Leith .. it´s still really unbelievable that you are gone. You´ve brought so much joy into everyone´s lives and really sparked my love of night sky photography, I´ll miss your jibs about my caffeine intake. To Karin Nick Lissy , Lars and Leiths parents and family our hearts are broken for you ..
