Century Memorial
Thomas L. Leeming was one of the most useful men in Brooklyn. He was a lover of music and of art, and interested in many civic affairs that were really worth while. At the time of his death he was the President of the Brooklyn Riding and Driving Club, a successful organization of its kind, President of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where he took an active part, particularly in the presentation of opera. For the underwriting of the Brooklyn performances of the Metropolitan Opera Company Leeming was personally largely responsible. He was one of the group under whose auspices The Tempest was produced at the Shakespeare tercentenary in 1916. It is doubtful if there was ever a time during the last ten or fifteen years when he was not helping some young men to get their musical education.
Socially he was most agreeable and had a large circle of friends who were greatly attached to him. In his country home at Glen Cove he delighted to entertain his musical friends.
