  1. Mr Leighty was a wonderful man to me, at that time, 10-16 years old paperboy. I looked forward to stopping by the gas station; more to talk with him and enjoy his light and comedic conversations, than the soda pop, candy and/or ice cream I purchased while out delivering newspapers. His kindness, his sense of humor and his love of life left me with a lasting impression that I’ve maintained for the past 60 years. God bless Mr Leighty and his family and I’m sure he’s brighten heaven with his sense of humor.

  2. Tom and I had great times at the Ashland Station. We would joke around and laugh a lot. A very great friend of mine. Tom fixed a couple cars I had when I had no idea what was wrong with the motor. He could be serious at times and funny at times. When Larry or Terry came in he was both. RIP Mr. Tom Leighty, You will always be in my mind.
