Few people can claim to have had their name emblazoned on thousands of signs across Sussex throughout their working life. But Guy Leonard, who so sadly died last week, was a notable exception. His name was synonymous with the estate agency he founded in the 1990s.

Guy was a superb estate agent - but as a man, a husband, a father and a friend he was so much more than that. In an article I penned many years ago, I described him as more social worker than seller of houses because of his passionate interest and concern for all those whose lives he touched - always for the better.

He was an elegant, charismatic raconteur - always able to dissolve any group into tears of laughter with the anecdotes from his life. What a rich life it was. Married to Mary and with a son Giles, they were a wonderful team - at the heart of life in their village of Amberley.
