Dan was an intelligent, curious, active and gentle man. A warm, loving and devoted partner to our daughter for the last 3-1/2 years, and a sweet, caring companion to their cat, Ginger. He will be greatly missed by our family. We extend sincere condolences to his children and grandchildren. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved him.

Please accept my sincerest sympathy. Mr. Leigh was one of my favorite teachers and one of the dearest, kindest souls I have known. I still use the phrase "God made it so" and smile when I think of him. May he rest in peace and may happy memories give you strength during this difficult time.

My sincere sympathy and prayers to the Leigh Family. He was a kind sweet man and one of my favorite teachers. Being taller then him...I still looked up to him. We shared a love of horses and riding and would often talk about the sport. Ride on Mr. Leigh!!

Mr. Leigh was a very kind, caring, and genuine professional. He always treated me fairly though I wore a title of a "faculty kid". I wish his family peace and comfort.

Dan was an amazing teacher....The students all loved him. He was caring and thoughtful. I was so sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with his family--Amy Leigh was a star student of mine!

Dan was one of my mentors - alwyas sought him out for botannical questions. He taught me to kayak, too. I always enjoyed his demeanor and will remember him with all the hair that eventually began to grow back ! Great man!
