When I was a young fan I hoped one day I could be another "Tom" that had nice looking cars and go fast... and now I do. A good man gone. Prayers to Tom and his family.

Tommy, I'll never forget hearing "Hey, farmer!" and hanging around for hours, shooting the bull over a cold Genesee with you. You were one heck of a genuine, honest person, and everyone who ever knew you was the better for it. I know you'll be watching out for all of us down here. Rest in peace, I'll miss you.

I'm not great with words, but condolences to the entire Leeson family. I'll never forget Tiger Tom driving Ole Snoopy at Oswego. He will live on in our memories.

It's taken me all week to try and fine some words to write. What can one say when one of their old friends and hero's passes away. Many of the best memories in my life are the ones I had with Tom, Linda and the rest of the 97 crew. I hope one day we can together go racing in heaven. Tom was a great person as well as a great race car driver. I'm very proud that I was with Tom and Linda through some great years of racing. The history and fans of Oswego Speedway will always remember the fan favorite, Tiger Tommy Leeson driving old Snoopy #97. My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to Linda, Robin, Paula and all of Tom's relatives. "KEEP THE PEDAL TO THE METAL", Tom. All my love, Lewie

I am absolutely heartbroken! Tommy has been in my life since I was little. I remember all the trips to Oswego to watch him, going to his house and sitting in his super modified being careful not to touch cause it was just painted and spending bring your child to work nights at the Kodak garage with him and all the others. He was a really important memory in my life and I loved him and Linda very much! My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family!

Tommy, you & I met a long time ago now. We saw in each other a "real person". With like values, and became friend's. It won't be the same `round here without you. When I'm ever on "the ground's" now. I will think `bout you. As I've seen you myself. In every nook & cranny there. Smiling away for some reason. Find peace while up there waiting. For me to say hi to you once again. [Telling you any new funny's I may of heard ;- ]

I met Tommy back in the '60's while married to Dan Hamill. Tommy was such a friendly. polite guy, and I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Just recently, I saw photos on a calendar & wondered if it was the same Tommy/Linda Leeson (work was beautiful). My thoughts & prayers are with you all, and I wish that Tommy may now rest in peace.
