Leighton and I go back when we were teaching at Leilehua High school. We even had a car pool. I recall seeing him several times in Vegas. He was a gentle soul with a particular laughter. My deepest sympathy to his family

How you can show support

Leighton and I were teachers at Leilehua High School, he was a science teacher. We lost touch until one day we reconnected at the airport for our trip to Las Vegas. A few years pass and again I saw him and his wife at Longs, unfortunately he didn't recognize me due to his mental condition. A very soft spoken and fine gentleman, he will be remembered as such. Sorry to hear about his passing. Glenn Sakai
