Sir,
You will be missed...
I "only" knew Maj Leigh through posts and conversations on this website. I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet him in person.
We come in contact with certain people for certain reasons. I can say that I did learn from Maj Leigh. I can also say that there are those of us who are better for having met him, whether it be online, in person or both.
Fair Winds, Following Seas, Sir. Get Some.

I first want to say that I don't have any affiliation with the military, nor can I fly a plane. I am a childhood friend of Maj Samuel Leigh and consider him one of the best friends I've ever had. Reading through this thread really warms my heart. It's REALLY great to see the respect and admiration Sam had from his peers and just confirms so many things I already know about him. Healing from this loss will be difficult for me. Thank you so much for your continued kindness and prayers.

Like so many others who have posted on this thread, I never met Skidkid in person, yet I felt that I knew him well.
I've spent the past few days going over PM exchanges between the two of us looking for a funny quote or a unique statement that we all could identify with.
What I found instead were conversations with somebody who I feel I really saw eye to eye with. We have similar backgrounds and interests, and had an amazing degree of overlap in the people we knew. The exchanges we had, although of no particular interest to most of you, made me laugh a little and regret never having met him in person a whole lot.
I'm glad that he's in a better place, even if it means that the Corps and the Country will be without him for now.
My prayers go out to his family and squadronmates.
Semper Fi, Finkle. You'll be missed but not forgotten.

Happy Birthday, Marine.
Though I did not have the chance to know Major Leigh, or correspond with him, I would like to offer my sympathies to his family, friends, and anyone who was fortunate enough to better themselves through him.
