To the entire family of Leigh Wohlforth,
Please except my condolences. I knew Leigh because I grew up with him in Wenonah. I enjoyed spending time with him and having him as a classmate and friend. He loved life and lived it to the fullest.

To the Wohlforth family:

Our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To my ski partner "THE LEIGHDER": I'll never forget chasing you down the mountains trying to do as many "S" turns as you. It was you that made me the skier I am today. I thank you for that. There will not be a ski trip that goes by that you won't be thought of and missed. I will take every lesson you gave me and teach it to my kids.

Your ski partner: John Bryszewski and Family
PS: Ski a cloud you won't fall through.

Leigh was always a positive person. I remember growing up with him and he was friends with everyone. He was fun and a real good guy. I am deeply sorry for his family and friends in this time of loss. Leigh never said a bad word about anyone. He will surely be missed.

Jason and family,
I was shocked and very saddened to hear about Leigh. I hadn't seen him in awhile, but often think about the fun times skiing...many great memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
