Funeral costs for Leslie Gelberger

On Thursday morning Leslie Gelberger was struck and killed by a boat while swimming in the ocean off of Auckland, New Zealand.

Our Brother-in-law Leslie was a terrific person. Leslie was a kind and gentle soul with a warm and welcoming smile. Leslie had a great sense of adventure and loved being in the water . He died doing what he loved.

This tragedy has left his wife Laura and their two young sons, Silas (7) and Linus (5) with an incredible sense of loss and grief.

With Laura's permission we have started this page. It is our hope that we can raise enough money to pay for Leslie's funeral and set aside some funds for the boys and their future.

Any amount you are willing to donate would be greatly appreciated. The money will go directly to Laura and the boys. Thank you for your consideration.
