I'll always remember "Fuzzy" smiling and asking how the Martin's were doing and what they were up too. Never a negative about anyone or anything came from his mouth. A tremendous talent coupled with a caring, compassionate personality is how I will always think of Tom. See yah "FUZZY"

It was an honor to know and march with Tommy "Fuzzy" Falzone for many years. The "Fabulous Crusader" family has truly lost a great man, person and drummer. I will always have great memories of "Fuzzy" both on and off the field.

Joyce, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. I've known Tom since he was a young man with the Ridge-Culver Statesmen. I was his drum instructor then and with the Crusaders. I wanted to visit him in Corning and I talked to him briefly on his cell phone, but, it was obvious, he wasn't up to visitors. I am in Virginia and it pains me that I can't be there Saturday. Again, I am deeply sorry and hope to meet you some day, Guy Iannello
