I met Liam many years ago in Canberra and we became friends instantly. He would have me over for BBQs and there he would practice his jokes and music on me. When I moved to Melbourne, Liam was my Welcome Wagon. Over a beer or two and in search of the best chicken parma, we would talk about love, life and laughter. Thank you for the wonderful memories. You will always hold a special place in my heart. My heartfelt sympathy to Caroline, Liam Jr and Liam\'s family.

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

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.

Liam was a funny and clever man, and thanks to the internet, Liam IS a funny and clever man. He lives on as a cyber-spaceman, boldly joking where no man has jokes before. Rock on buddy.

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 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 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!!!

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.

Liam\'s love of fun, laughter and comedy permeated everything he did, and consumed the vast majority of his waking life - ever since he was a small boy. GORSKYS.COMedy came later in life, after a modicum of success performing on stage, and became the outlet for his creative urges for many many years. He loved tinkering with the site to explore the technology available, and to plumb the depths of \'interactive comedy\', to try to understand what people wanted in online comedy, and to understand how the user could become involved. Liam was a pioneer of video podcasting well before the iPod had ever been dreamed of, he was web 2.0 before most people had an email address. This site was one of his greatest loves, and one of his greatest pleasures. It is wonderful to see it grow and prosper beyond his stewardship. Let the laughter continue . . .
