Tom Leadon

I was fortunate to meet Tom while writing a book about the Beatles´ influence. I came in close contact with Tom during Tom Petty weekend celebrations in Gainesville. Such a kind, giving and talented man. Rest in peace.

Tom was guitar teacher and mentor to my daughter Caroline starting in middle school until she graduated high school in 2020. When Tom passed away, Caroline was wrapped up in college life. She was beside herself with grief for not having spent more time with him. I want to help her gain closure by taking her to his gravesite to pay our respects. Can anyone help me with this?

My condolences.

Condolences to Brother Bernie and all Tom's loved ones. We, the fans, feel sorrow with the fall of a member of the great gang of Americana musicians who elevated rocking-country-blues to among the finest catalogues of human artistic expression in history.
