My first cousin , my little brother, the one I confided in and shared our most sacred thoughts and situations.and growing up experiences. An amazing father to Sam and Ben, Son to Aunt mare and Uncle Gene , Brother to Paul. I will miss our weekly conversations, family, politics, and student stories.I know you will look down upon all of your family members and bless us with your heart and soul. I know you will continue to send the white feather sign ,to me as you see fit ,and when I need that...

Tom was a great Teacher, and he was always there for everyone. He made a promise he'd go watch me at my Taekwondo Tournaments but that never happened... so sad, Rest in Peace Mr Labarbera.

Thom was a fine young man. He was a great source of pride to his mom and dad. As his high school principal I was so pleased that he became a teacher and realized the joy of working with young people which I'm he did so well based on the tributes his students have said and done for him. May he rest in peace and my his parents be comforted by the respect we all had for him and our prayers.

Mare and Gene, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your son Tom. I did not know him but knowing you both from New Fairfield and all the things I read about him from the Concord H.S. family, he was a very special person, impacting the lives of students and teachers alike. He left his mark on the world and for this you can be proud. God watch over and comfort you and your family as you go through this difficult time.
