My sympathies go out to all of the Youngs. What great memories I have from all those years ago. Whether Lancaster or Honeoye, Mr. Young always made me feel welcome in his homes. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May he rest in peace.
Marcia–I was so sad to learn of Tom’s passing. I was not in touch with either of you very much after I left the Lancaster School Board. Tom was a big personality with enthusiasm galore! I will always remember his love of life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My condolences to you Marcia. I certainly enjoyed knowing Tom.
I was saddened to read of Tom’s passing. I appreciate his support of myself and the support he provided for the Lancaster Schools athletic program. I would hope that someone will remember it was Tom, that championed and brokered the exchange of property to obtain the land that has made the expansion of the Lancaster Athletic complex possible. Without his effort this would have never happened.
our condolences to you Marcia and all the family
Dear Marcia and family,
We extend sympathies to you and the children, and also their families. We think back to the time when you and Tom hosted the Hillview faculty at Honeyeoye. Tom was there to make sure we all enjoyed the wonderful day. You and Tom were very generous and we fondly remember that connection.
God bless,
Jean and Niles Kin
Marcia,
Just wanted to say how sorry Bill & I are to hear of your husband Tom’s passing. I know it has been a struggle for both of you during his health struggle. We will pray for you during your time of grief for comfort and peace.
Sending all the Youngs my sympathies. My memories of “Mr. Young” are in technicolor and surround sound (this was not a quiet man!)…may all of your memories be as bold and full of life as he was to me.
Robert,
Our prayers are with you and the family during this time. We love you and the family.
