THOMAS STACY

Marie and family, I severely injured my spine in 2000. Tom's work on CD and digital is one my respites from the pain I have 24 hours a day. I praise the God in heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ for bringing me relief by Tom's interpretation of music. I am at a total loss to say anything , but thank you for allowing us to reap the rewards of many hours of hard practice.

My sincere condolences to Marie and your family. May you get through this difficult time, through prayers and the comfort of friends and family.

Lamento el fallecimiento de Thomas Stacy. Daniel Cocchetti de Argentina (Stacy Seminar 1985 - Stockton - CA)

Tom was a dedicated teacher and exceptional coach to the "Thomas Trio", named for him by myself and two of his other pupils at Juilliard. I first met him when he was our coach for the NYC all-city orchestra, and then took private lessons with him for a number of years before I attended Juilliard.

His musical talent was exceptional and led several composers to add to the literature for English horn significantly. Tom and Marie hosted us on several occasions at their home. They were always cordial and generous. We were grateful for our friendship and missed them once Tom retired from...
