He was born a king, a champion in every aspect, a leader in every field, he was what everyone aspired to. Words such as hero, legend and greatness were all associated with the man.

Born in Sydney's south-west, it was obvious that from a early age, the kid was destined for greatness. He featured on Channel 7's "Brainiac" show and astounded everyone with his quick qit, charisma and high IQ and at such a young age, he was mixing with the best, the child prodigy was announced to the world.

Not only did he excel in the academic field, but his talents also included Sport and he excelled at Soccer, Cricket, Rugby League and Swimming.

Such a genius was treasured and he continued his life, making a career as a successful lawyer, suing large bank and tobacco corporations and exposing their guilt to the whole world.

Tragically though, the great man died in a plane after making his annual pilgrimage to Stipsi on the island of Mytilini in Greece, the home of his ancestors.

It is here where he is buried and a massive memorial is being erected in honour of him.
