Thomas F. Burnickas

To Tom's family, loved to watch him, when he played soccer for SA. He was very quick. He loved the hot dogs from Tom's. I can remember on Elm St. where he lived. Little hill in the front, his mother loved working in the yard. My prayer go out to all the family.

Sorry for the loss of both your Mom and Father I was your Dad's opponent in Hudson Ma back in the early 80's when we met up close and personal. His punches were like being hit with 2 by 4's. Shared quite a few laughs with Mom in Bermuda. Tom stayed over my house way up North one Halloween after a session of training for us cpl's. He craved out the pumpkin's and went trick-or-treating with the family. Always enjoyed his company. Unforgettable laugh and his smile said it all. Will be missed. God bless. RIP Berkshire Strongboy

Carrie & Mike, Thinking of you and your families and this great loss of both your mom and dad. Hope happy memories from the past bring you all comfort. They were two very special people. Cynthia Simison

In addition to all that was mentioned earlier, my Friend Tom was a true gentleman. There was a time when he hung out with our crew of old retired correctional officers. There were 15 to 20 of us at any one time and we all had the same nick name, "FAT-GUY". Tom fit in like a finger in a glove. We first met 30 years ago at Terry's Barber shop in Westfield and started a conversation about politics. It was good that nether of us had additional appointments because that first chat was over 2 hours long (It's like that for some fellow political zealots). I have not seen or talked to my friend in a number of years. But I will miss him and ask the Almighty to comfort him until it's my time to be greeted by him.

Carrie, Mike and family sorry to hear of your Dad's passing . Shared many
fun times with your Dad. He was always willing to help whenever you needed him. Take comfort in all the memories you have.

My wife Karen and I knew Tom through the motorcycle club. Tom was a good guy. Our sympathy goes out to Tom's family.

My friend, classmate and teammate at Smith Academy. Hey Strong Boy R.I.P.

My condolences go out to Tom's family on behalf of the Smith Academy Alumni Association and Friends. I posted the sad news on our Facebook page called Smith Academy Impromptu Reunion so members of the Class of 64 and others who knew him from Hatfield will spread the sad news. May Tom rest in eternal peace, and family and friends be comforted by memories of all the good times.

Dear Carrie and Mike, What can I say about your Dad. Without a doubt, one of the finest people I had the pleasure of knowing. We had plenty of laughs at the kitchen table, as well as some memorable adventures. He and your Mom always welcomed me into their home. RIP my friend. Thanks for the memories.
