• I hadn't checked this website in a long time. I recently graduated college, which kept me busy, but all throughout my high school I frequently visited this site. I was devastated to find out the news. Liam was a person full of creativity and passion. After reading so much about what someone else thinks every night for a few years, you almost feel like you know that person. He will be greatly missed, and I will always remember him as that person who got me through tough times in high school with his comedy. My condolences to all who knew him personally. Sincerely, Juan Portillo

• Liam and I worked on a short film together back in 2003. With Donna and Mitch, Liam and I co-wrote & co-produced “Blue Wire”. Liam was the lead actor, I directed. My fondest memory of that shoot was the day we filmed ‘rushing to the car sequence’: Liam and his crew were dressed in glaring yellow coveralls; one of the boys didn’t quite fit his costume causing Donna to gaffa the back of his trousers shut - 3 times; the mic didn’t work; we were running late; and, then it started to rain. We all rushed to the door. We didn’t have keys so cast and crew sheltered under the short overhang. Liam and I argued – as we were wont to do – about whether it was possible to continue or not. People started crowding us in – something neither of us liked, I think. And we had to yell above the noise – which only made things worse. Then half a tree blew passed. Jammed up a plate glass window we both watched it sail majestically by. We had been so caught up in the minutia that we hadn’t noticed how extreme the environment was. We looked at each other and just laughed, and laughed, and laughed. There was nothing else to be done. Well, possibly throw a tarp over the camera man hugging his camera. When I think of Liam I think of that moment: surrounded by a soggy cast & crew, jammed into a tiny entry way, just laughing at the storm. He will always be alive to me in that memory.

• 12 Months ago my wife and I moved from North Melbourne where we had lived next door to Liam for five years. Liam was a frequent Sunday BBQ guest, particularly before he met his lovely supportive partner Caroline and her wonderful son Liam Jnr. Liam had laughter in his DNA. But he also had intellect, compassion and an amazing thrust for everything and everyone. He will always remain one of the most intelligent people I have ever met … It’s particularly rare to ever meet someone who is comedian, intellectually cutting, a wonderful husband and father, but most importantly a genuine great guy! Liam, Fleur and I will miss you. Caroline and Liam Jnr … you were always wonderful people … now you’ll go on to be truly special for the time you had with Liam. Cheers Shane & Fleur Noyce

• This is real saddening news to hear. I always thought some of his comments, articles were beyond hilarious and quite brilliant. I don't know what to say, how it could end so soon. I hope his loved ones find courage and strength to deal with this loss.

• As everyone has said before me, Liam was a genuine nice guy. I only saw gorsky's on tv once, and it was obvious that nice guy tag was true. What is scary is that I'm a year older than liam, yet I feel like I'm only just starting to live. I only knew liam from a distance, yet I miss him, how more so for chris tomkins and liams's family.

• I just found this place and I think it is so sad that a man died, when someone dies it makes me cry and I would like to see more stuff about this web site and I hope he is going to a good place!!!

• I first meet Liam at writers group in Canberra, running in a pub - Filthy Macfaddens. And in the two years plus some months later we where still at it - in the lows and the highs. A very loyal Guinness drinker which I have to say made me poor! We enjoyed not only the weekly times chatting, discussing and planning submissions to propose but in addition a weekly \'snag\' on the barbie. Liam was a very loyal, truethful to the core, a devils advocate, a beer buddy, a BBQ buddy, an avid play-station partner, and a treasured friend. I thank him for bringing some polish, grounding, logic and spirit to me. For this - and his fasination for Man-bags will stay with me for life. Thank you Liam for your cherished friendship.

• I had greatly enjoyed Liam's contributions to humour on the Internet and in Australia. I have visited this site for several years and, until now, always found something to laugh at. Having seen Liam's comedy live only deepens my sadness at his passing. I was shocked and upset at the news. Thank you, Liam, for what you have contributed to the world. Goodbye.

• I haven't been to Gorskys.com in a few years, but it was my favourite website throughout high school, and Liam's writing always made me laugh. I'm so deeply sorry for Liam's family's loss, and Chris' loss as well. Sincere condolences, and thanks Liam for the many, many, many laughs throughout the years.

• Although we shared the same moniker at campus (a rare thing in those days) I never knew Liam personally. I saw him many times around Monash, performing as the Toasted Marshmallows and then the Gorskys. I followed his career (along with Chris and Jo's) with much joy and always admired his tenacity and seemingly endless supply of jokes and articles that sprang from his fertile mind. I learned of his remarkable relationship tale through a friend and was amazed and then, almost too soon after that, I heard about his cancer, which seemed unjust, cruel and premature. Australian comedy has lost an important and vital member of it's community and I only wish I had gotten to know the 'other Liam' better. Vale. Lliam Amor
