This website was designed to keep those of you visiting updated on the scholarship set up in Tom's memory. Information about upcoming events, pictures, blogging, etc. will be available here.
As you may already know, Tom worked in the field of Education. This career path, in which he chose at an early age, was a large part of what made him who he was. In his memory, we, his family and friends, thought it only fitting to set up a scholarship in his name at the school in which he worked.
Confucius says, "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life." Helping students day in and day out was what Tom did. Along with the many students' lives he touched, he was forever humbled by those friendships he made that grew bigger and bigger with each laugh, smile, hug or tear.
Tom would want to continue to help and so we'll continue to help him do just that. We'd like to see one or two students from New Hyde Park Memorial High School each year continue onto higher education in colleges and universities of their choice. "Education is the key to success!" Together we can all be a part of those first steps...
