Moving for Shay
After 14 years in Manhattan, Thomas Mahon packed his bags and headed home. Though the big city still thrilled him, he was no longer the carefree, single guy who moved here to be a financial broker. The oldest of five children, he had married and had a young daughter of his own. He wanted his daughter, Shay, to grow up in Oyster Bay, on Long Island, the way that he had, with playgrounds, beaches and family sprinkled within a few blocks. On warm, summer evenings, Thomas, 37, who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald in 1 World Trade Center, always hurried home to take out his girl. He pulled out his mountain bike, strapped Shay into a child seat, and glided through the neighborhood. He stopped every so often for relatives and friends. ''Tom took it day by day,'' said his brother, Gerald Mahon. ''I think his grand plan was to create a good life for his daughter.''
I dont know Thomas, but I had just came back from a volleyball game at St Doms and came across his street sign. I would love to honor his legacy, RIP Mr. Mahon

Maureen, I remember the day you proudly told Tina and me the exciting news, that your brother was about to embark on a career at Cantor Fitzgerald. My memory, thoughts and prayers are always with you.

Hey Uncle Tom,
I’ve never written one of these before. A lot going on these days, I’m in flight school for the Marine Corps now. I hope you’d be proud of me. You’ve had more of an impact on my life than I think you know. Love you.

My name is Paul H. of Locust Valley. I did not know Tom but on 9-11-22 at our church (St. John's of Lattingtown) we randomly picked names from a basket of people in our area that lost their lives on 9-11-01 and I selected Tom's name and read it aloud along with his age and that he worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. I pray for Tom. I hope you know we never forget any of the people who lost there lives on that tragic day. God Bless you and your family Tom.

Happy Birthday Tom.
Just had a text chat with John, Joe, Brendan and Anthony about you... We couldn't agree if your birthday was today (the 1st), or tomorrow. Gerald's message below solved the mystery. We'll try to get it right next time!
