Several media and sports profiles expressed their grief and memories after Tommy Engstrand's death on Sunday night.

Here are some media voices from Twitter, from some of Tommy Engstrand's former colleagues at Radiosporten, among others.

Lasse Granqvist

Tommy Engstrand.

The journalist who gave so much to all of us athletes.

What language!

What a driving force!

And what a passion!

"You have to let the pump go," he said.

The heart must be involved.

The real commitment.

Thanks Tommy.

For the tip.

And because you lived as you learned ”.

Tommy Åström

"Tommy Engstand dead.

Hard to take in.

The greatest of role models for an 8-year-old boy listening to Sportextra in the 80's.

Later lovable mentor & friend.

"The pump must be included".

He always told us younger sports reporters.

Must always remember and manage Tommy Engstrand's heart ”.

Ola Wenström

Tommy Engstrand.

You were responsible for the selection and part of the training that took me into the profession, in the autumn of 1989. You gave me some of the best advice then and some of the finest words since.

Promises to try to manage the language, sharpness and warmth.

Thanks!

Robert Perlskog

“No single person has meant as much to my professional life as Tommy Engstrand.

Took me under his wings in the early 80's on Radiosporten.

The first thing he did was send me to the speech therapist ...

And he had humor too, that devil.

Will be missed ”.
