Thomas, I will never forget study hall. I found myself looking forward to study hall and gym every time we had it just because you made it so much fun. That's where our friendship started and built throughout the school year. Then we would hang out outside of school and you were just always so full of life and made everything fun. There was never a dull moment with you. I still can't believe this, I find myself thinking about it all the time and I just can't get it or you out of my head. I don't understand why this had to happen to you, it's just not fair. Seeing you when you would come home from college was always so exciting. Not being able to call you Thomas or hear you call me Kiki will be so hard. You will never be forgotten Tom, we all miss and love you so much.

I was a mother's helper/babysitter for Nick and Thomas when they were little. They were the most gorgeous children. I fell in love with both of them as well as Gael. Thomas had the most infectious laugh/giggle which would make me start laughing. When I heard of his passing my heart sank for his whole family...especially for Gael who is the best mother I know xoxo

RIP Tom you have effected hundreds of lives with your guaranteed good time attitude and loving heart. Miss you my friend.

How dearly my nephew Thomas will be missed, and so sad that he was unable to attend my nephew Bill's wedding last July of 2010 when I expected to see him then after receiving my invitation to join their family wedding in Pa. My last time with Thomas was at the funeral services of my Father back in 2008, who now with my Mother, has greeted their precious Grandson at the "Gates Of Heaven." I'm certain they and all the Angels gathering in Heaven have opened their Hearts of Eternal Love to comfort Thomas from his unexpected loss of his family here on Earth, while guided into the Heavenly Sphere of Eternal Life that shines among all of our deceased loved ones that will be waiting for us all to rejoin them once again as the family we are all part of,.. in this world and into the next that God has promised us. My prayers & thoughts go out to our entire family, especially the immediate family members of Nick, Gael, and Nick Jr. who have been touched most severely by the sudden impact and unexpected loss of their youngest son & brother. My sadden heart extends to all of you so deeply, and my daily prayers confide in God to bless Thomas in his newborn home of Heaven among our family's loved ones who now welcome Thomas with their unconditional, eternal love and peace. Although his life was cut so short, our loving memories of Thomas will go on forever to be remembered by all of us. Amen.

Tom was a great man. He was one of my best friends. I have never met anyone so cheery and that could make anyone laugh at any time. Some of my fondest memories are of Tom. He was one of the most honest and caring members of our community. Let him remain fondly in our thoughts forever. To his family I cant imagine the heartache you feel, but know that he was one of finest people I have ever met.

My heart goes out to all of Tom's family and friends. My one wish is that he could make us all laugh together just one last time. Although his time here was too short, he was still able to leave such a large impact on so many lives. I hope he is watching over us as we cling tightly to all of the memories we've shared with him. His humor and drive to have a good time will never be forgotten. I love you Tom and miss you so much already. Stay strong everyone, and always remember.

its funny that if something bad happened you were always one of the first people i would call, and now i sit here and cry and the only person i want to talk to about it is you, you were one of the greatest people i have ever met, a shoulder i frequently leaned on, and the one person in all of syracuse last year that was there, always, no matter what. i can think of countless memories we have shared, but i know we will talk about them in the future and laugh. and you will tell me youve been watching over us, all of us and have shared in the memories you couldn't physically be around to share. i'm going to miss you, when i get to say "see ya later" it's going to be one of the hardest things i've had to do thus far, but ill be seeing you, you'll always be around, i know that.

Thomas was one of the biggest joys of my families life. He was funny, kind, generous and charming from day one. I have known Thomas since the day he was born and my son Stefan and Thom were like brothers. His life was short but oh the joy and love he shared with us all. I will miss you everyday Thomas. It was an honor to have you in our lives. I will look into the sky and know that the brightest star will be you!
Gale,Nick and Nicholas, my heart breaks for you. He will forever be in my heart. We love you.
