Orlando Fire Department had a candlelight memorial ceremony tonight (9-11-11) and there were flags with all of the 9-11 victims. We were urged to reach out to the families by taking one or two of the flags and letting the family know that they were thought of.  My son (7 yrs old) says that you must have been a pretty great person because God called you back to his side so soon.  Our thoughts and prayers go to you family and friends.

I had the pleasure and honor to have played football with Tommy at Westchester Community College. We were both on crutches together! You were a great man then. God bless you and your family. Thank you for everything. My family will always remember you and your bravery.

Thomas Foley,

You and the firefighters of New York are an inspiration to those who knew you and to those who didn't. I continually feel compelled to tell people about you so that we never forget about you and so that you never stop getting the recognition that you deserve. I will never let you fade away.

Love,
Louise of Wainuiomata, New Zealand

We knew the Foley family when we lived in NY. My husband Joe Sigillo, who used to coach Danny Foley (Tom's brother) in the West Nyack Little League. We now live in Arizona and went to the memorial for 9-ll heroes. The Flags of Heroes, it was called. We searched and found the flag flying in Tom Foley's memory. We took pictures, and we would like to send them to Tom Foley's family. Please tell how we may get in touch with them.

Thank you,
Virginia and Joe Sigillo

We were neighbors on Foxwood Road way back when. I never did have pleasure of meeting you personally, but our children knew you. There are many wonderful memories to be cherished in those years when you all were growing up in West Nyack.
We cannot thank you enough, Tom Foley, for the ultimate sacrifice you made on 9-11. God bless.

We met and knew Tommy at Denim and Diamonds in New York City.... Tommy was a man, a friend to all, a firefighter, a HERO.... Everyone who knew him loved and respected him. Tommy will not be forgotten.

We only met a few times back when you were riding bulls. Thanks so much for your sacrifice; it never should have been required. It saddens me that your light no longer shines in this world. May God bless and comfort your family. We will never forget our heroes.

Tommy- beautiful inside and out! Country music, dancing, smiles and fun! A true man. A hero! Our time together was brief. You will always have a special place in my heart my friend! You are so missed but not forgotten! Love you:-) Lisa

I never had the pleasure of meeting you, Mr. Tommy, but man, every memorial site dedicated to you that I have had the pleasure of visiting, you must not be a fraction under 10 feet tall! You, sir, are the very definition of a model friend, brother, son, and HERO. It is my grave misfortune to not have been able to enrich my life by meeting a wonderful friend like you in life. My heart cries for you and the family and friends you had to leave behind. I know in my Catholic faith and in my heart that you are a soldier of Christ to be sent wherever the Lord sends you to defend, rescue, and protect those in need. Your spirit is free to help all now, and guided by the love you left behind to all those who love you. God bless you, dear son of the Foleys. WE here all owe you infinitely for your ultimate sacrifice. Your face is the sun we see so bright every morning at sunrise. Earth cries out for a hero ... you, Thomas. Heaven praises you, a hero. May I have the honor of shaking your hand one day at the gates if they let me in? I pray GOD BLESS, PROTECT, and REST THE SOUL OF THOMAS J. FOLEY! May the canonization process begin, 'Saint' Thomas.

I knew Tom back in the time when kids were innocent and a good time was a good fight on the neighbors' lawn just for a goof. I knew him through high school and a few experiences we shared. We socialized and would do our best at tackle football on the Prentice lawn in winter. Friends like Tom and John and Tim would often come. There was Roccabruno and Mike and Victor and Scanllon. Those were the times. Good times.

I happened upon pictures of a good friend's wedding in Vermont. I was amazed at two things: First, how many photos I had actually taken, and second, the incredible amount of people who attended the weekend. Tommy and Danny were there, as were a number of other firefighters. The days were filled with fun-filled events, and the nights with laughter and reminiscing about childhood ... a time of life missed by all. Today, it is events like the wedding which we reminisce upon and people like Tommy who are missed. I was searching for the annual golf outing information and found this interesting page. So to the Foley family, you are always in my prayers.... God bless.
