Thank You You are remembered.

You are truly an inspiration!! Thank you!

Dear Tommy,

On this Memorial Day like those of late, I honor you and your 342 brave Firefighter Brothers in uniform who sacrificed your own lives so that others may go on to live. We must NEVER forget that you, Tommy, and all of those brave men were the first casualties of this long war we never wanted. And with an enemy far more sinister & evil than any we have ever encountered.

Heaven and Earth celebrate you as a TRUE HERO that we will always honor. Your memory and life story will be told for generations to come. God knows the pleasure, love, and joy you gave to so very many while mortal. He now rewards you with Everlasting Life and true immortality! There is NO death in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Living God!

I must thank you from the very depth of my soul for being my continuing inspiration and personal trainer. Everyday that I "sling the iron" around, I feel you there, spotting and guiding me to my goals. Thank you!.....to you and to the Lord who allows your Spirit with to be with me. Even in mortal death, you still continue to come to all of your family and friend's aide.

God Bless the Foley Family on this Memorial Day. I would not let this day pass without showing my respect and gratitude for Tommy's support and guidance. Your son Tommy is Exemplar of what it means to be a real man and HERO.

I did not know Tommy well. I was a younger kid than Tommy that grew up in West Nyack, a street away from Tommy. Tommy was thought of by my friends and I as the ‘older cool guy’ on the block. I, as well as many others, remember that devastating day 9/11/01. I, like many others was shocked and saddened to hear about Tommy. I felt I needed to search his name today (not sure why) and found this sight. God Bless Tommy. I want to thank the brave men and women of the FDNY/NYPD and all our courageous military personnel that serve our great nation.

Hope those Irish eyes are smiling today, while your watching the parade going up 5TH ave. God Bless and Happy St.Patricks Day

R.I.P Tommy and all the brave firefighters who died on 9/11 - you will never be forgotten and your courage and bravery saved many lives that day, God bless, sleep well.

Oi Oi Tommy,a warrior you are and now with your brothers,rip brother.

The gates of heaven opened wide
The angels lined up side by side
Heavens winds they softly blew
Echoed that god wanted you
When you awoke you did not no
That he had said you had to go
To leave this life for helping others
Strangers, friends beloved brothers
He wanted you his special guest
To prove he only takes the best

R.I.P Tommy foley and all your brothers who died along side you. Heros till the end you will never be forgotten

"Irish eyes keep smile'in"

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MR. TOMMY!!!

Tommy, I know you folks up there in Heaven laugh at us silly mortals celebrating your earthly birthday, but you gotta remember we celebrate you because you are a Great Hero! I know on earth you'd be 44 on last Friday, January 18th......but in Heaven you will forever be 32 (lucky you!!).

I want to thank you from the very depths of my soul for you guidance and inspiration. You spiritual visits, advice, and messages from the Spiritual Realm mean more to me than anyone will ever know. I take what you have given me all throughout my entire life. Tommy, you will continue to be a Blessing from God to everyone until the day we die and get to be with all of you up there eternally.

Thanks for keeping after my lazy butt to get back to the weights again. You have helped me in the gym tremendously these past few months. I really do feel your presence there everyday. You will always be my Personal Trainer and Official Spotter. You are the Very Best!

I am forever in your debt. God has Blessed me with a Guardian Angel Friend like you!

Thoughts are with you all today.

I would like to thank the Foley family for sharing their heartbreaking story. I never knew Tommy but from all the stories and this amazing tribute page it is easy to understand what a kind awesome guy he was. I will never forget that awful day as long as I live everyday I have a thought for all the people lost and the survivors trying to get on in life. God bless x

true hero read articles and watched interviews on how he rised up the ranks so quickly because of his bravey and fearlessness. listened to firfighters radios transmissions 911 opearters putting trapped victims thro to them so they could reassure they were coming for them new york firefighters are of a diffrent level altogether the waay they face fires. and his dad and brother bringing him home and how every year their house on 9/11 is open for friends and family to laugh and cry together and they end up at tommys grave toasting him i felt like crying god bless the foley family.

Like many of you, last week on British TV I watched and was deeply moved by "The Firefighter's Story".

I was particularly touched by Tommy Foley's story and the words of his siblings, Danny and Joanne. It underlined again for me the utter callousness of those zealots who could, without compassion or concern, fly planes into buildings, destroying thousands of lives in one foul sroke.

Tommy stands greater than the cowards who robbed him of his life ever will.

The only comfort, it seems to me is when you look at this handsome, vibrant, young man, you must remember the words of our great English poet, Lawrence Binyon: "They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them nor the years condemn; at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them."

Rest in peace young man.

Just viewed 9/11 Firefighters story on TV - what a beautiful man Tom was, handsome, staggeringly sexual and a brave hard working firefighter doing his job. To quote a survivor "they were angels". I hope his memory and life continues on. Thinking of you all on another 9/11 memorial date. xxx

I heard Tommy's story this past week and can't stop thinking about his beautiful life and bravery. I will always think of him and the Foley family on this day. God Bless

Another September 11th and the painful remembrance of that terrorist attack and the lives lost on that day does not diminish. My thoughts and prayers are with Tommys family, friends and loved ones. Tommy inspired all who knew him, met him only once, or who have read about his life. May his soul rest in peace. God Bless Tommy and his fallen NYFD brothers.

i miss you Tommy you are the best cousin in the whole wide world

I only heard of him through watching a documentary hearing his brother danny talk about him but he seemed like a true hero....he was the example firefighter who would do anything to help people including the ultimate sacrafice....my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time....RIP tommy true hero!!!!!

I left a message here 12 months ago about Tommy and his memory along with him and everyone else who was lost that fatal day. I just want his family, friends and everyone who was affected and who suffered to know people around the world are here to support you and will never forget the pain you went through that fatal day.
Tommy was a inspiration and an incredible young man.
God Bless to you all.
A day which will never be forgotten.

What a beautiful young man.One of so many heroes that day.

I admit I have only heard of Tommy Foley today, having spent time watching a few documentaries retelling the 9/11 stories from many points of view. Tommy's was one of them and he was a real American hero. You all must be so proud of him.
RIP

Tommy and I were classmates and friends at Clarkstown South. Several years after graduation we ran into each other at a grocery store in the Bronx, it turned out the fire station was just around the corner from my office. We chatted as if we had just run into each other in the hallways between classes. My thoughts and prays are with his family as well as all of those that had the privilege of knowing Tommy.

Thinking of you and your family today Tommy,your a true hero and an inspiration. Your words live life to the fullest are so true and I'll always live by them. Donna xxxxxxxx

My very heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with the Foley Family on this eleventh anniversary of that fateful, infamous day; When Tommy, along with his 342 Firefighter Brothers, made the honorable Supreme Sacrifice and became Soldiers of Christ.

I know that no one will ever forget that horrific day and what America lost. We lost great men and women who were respected heroes even before they perished. Tommy and these brave souls will NEVER be forgotten. Their selfless acts of bravery in the face of death must be told for generations to come.

Tommy is the pure essence of what it means to be an AMERICAN. I know that Tommy's Spirit is still a driving force who goes on to defend God's Will around the world.

May we all learn from this man's life and his many successful accomplishments.

God's Blessings to All

Thinking of you and praying for you today and always. Love you and miss you.

My son & I met Tommy's mom, Pat, when we visited the 9/11 Memorial earlier this year. As we approach the 11th anniversary of this horrible attack, I'm thinking of Tommy's family and the loss they endured. Pat, know that your son's sacrifice is not forgotten and that you are thought of and prayed for on this day.

Today is the 11th anniversary of that terrible day.I salute your courage and that of your colleagues.
The good people all over the world will never forget your sacrifice.
Rest in peace.

Your were a true hero and amazing individual. I was inspired by his life. I have a whole new respect for fire fighters. USMC Jeremy Semper Fi

Tommy was a Clarkstown South classmate and friend. At our 10th reunion we had a long conversation during which he told me, with much excitement and animation, that he had his "dream job" of being a firefighter in the Bronx. Tommy told me he was proud of me for becoming a doctor, because he knew I wanted to go to medical school since junior high. I lovingly teased him about being in People's Top 50 Bachelors and the NY Firefighter calendar. We hugged and were both so happy to see each other. That's the last time I spoke to Tommy, and I miss him...

Hello, I went to high school with Tommy and was in the same class. I remember him always laughing and kidding around. He was always smiling. I am so sad to hear about Tommy and think about him often, especially every September 11th. If someone talks about September 11th, I talk about Tommy. May your wonderful memories of him keep you going. He truly defines a hero. Our hero. G-d bless you. Michellex

God Speed Brother!

Thinking of the Foley Family on Memorial Day......

In many ways, as I reflect back upon those dark days of mid-Semptember of 2001, we must also include the first Heroes of the inception of this War on Terror. It began on our own Beloved Country's soil of America.

Tommy, along with with many other first responders on the Atlantic Coast, died bravely in the capricious first battle. These Brave Souls saved countless civilians while sacrificing their own lives in the name of American Freedom.

I didn't want this Memorial Day to go by without including Tommy and his 342 Firefighter Brothers who should also be Honored for their own contribution in saving America & defending Her Freedoms. They themselves are also brave soldiers - the very first to give their lives in this war - that deserve our rememberance and respect today.

God Bless You Tommy Foley, Thank You for saving countless lives that fateful day with your brothers. I know quite well that in Angelic Spirit today, you are arm-in-arm together with all the Spirit veterans of wars past and present. Warriors in God's Great Battalion against forces of evil, you still defend what is righteous in God's Name.



GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WE ARE ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE UNDER GOD!

you were my hero I will miss you and always will miss you

Does not matter how much time goes by, what those brave 343 men did that day will never be forgotten. One thing people do not realize is that they do those brave acts of courage every day, but given the tragic events that took place day shed a light on what they do every single day. Takes a certain person with ice in his veins to the job but also has compassion and love in their hearts when it comes to family and friends.
We can all take a page from Tommy's life and how we can live life, LIVE IT!
Thank you Tommy and the other 342 for bringing light to so many on a dark day.

I watched it unravel, I wanted to help just like every Firefighter in the U.S. I knew someday I would be there. March 30, 2012. I visited the memorial, it was breath taking and very somber. I took photos and on one of my pictures was Thomas Foley. So when I got home I looked him up. Thank You Thomas for your Courage, Bravery,and Dedication. From Michael Dent, Captain. Windsor Township Emergency Services.

I received my copy of Legacy of a Young Hero and watched it today. WOW! Thank you so much for sharing Tommy with the rest of us. He is truly a hero. Joanne you did a fantastic job & you and your family are wonderful people. Please know that I will NEVER forget him! Thank you again!

This is a very belated "Happy Birthday" to Mr. Tommy on January 18th. I attempted to leave a guestbook entry on your birthday, Tommy, but it was closed still.

Tommy, I know you Angels up there in Heaven laugh at us mortals down here celebrating your Earthly birth. I have learned that the real celebration begins when you are safely back Home to Christ's Loving Arms once more. But down here to us all, you are a big Hero. You will always be a celebration for your sacrifice you made to save lives.

I made a promise to you that I will always have your Memorial Foundation closest to my heart to help the kids to go to college. You have shown me times before your love of children and I will always remember.

God Blessed the Earth the day you came into it and He still Blesses us by allowing you to continue to protect us as a Guardian Angel.

I am here for you at your service always,

~~~~~~ Mark in Texas

Due to the large amount of spam messages that were being posted by automated bots on Tommy's guestbook, unfortunately we had to disable the guestbook for some time. We have since upgraded the guesbook with more security features in order to help prevent this from happening again. Tommy's guestbook is now officially re-opened and you can now leave comments for Tommy and his family. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
Paul Campanella

What a great young man Tommy was n will always continue to be in the hearts n lives of all who were blessed to know him n spend time with him. I never knew Tommy but saw the movie of his life at the Majestic Theater On October 11, 2011. I am still crying. Not only because he no longer walks this earth but also because he touched many lives in the most beautiful way. So my tears r also bittersweet.
I salute u Tommy, I salute u n ur family. I just wish I had known u in life. Even in death u still touch lives be proud Tommy we all r. U r a man with a beautiful soul n spirit. U have made many proud. RIP Tommy Boy.

To the Foley Family,
Deepest sympathy always more importantly THANK YOU! Thank you for sharing your wonderful son with so many. I attended the "Legacy of a Hero" showing at Majestic Theaters last evening and walked away feeling remarkably touched and enlightened. Tommy is a beautiful soul. As I type this to you, I Smile with watery eyes, but feel good all the way around. As a mother, it is with the greatest Respect and Admiration I say "Wonderful Job" to Mr. & Mrs. Foley in raising all three of their children!

I had the opportunity to view the Legacy of a Young Hero on 10/11/11 at the Majestic Cinema (sold out, full house). Joanne & all involved did an outstanding job portraying Tommy's many achievements and accomplishments over his life. Done in good taste, and will serve as a lasting tribute to a young man who gave his life doing what he loved the most...helping others. God Bless the Foley family; and know that Tommy and his brothers will never be forgotten

having known Tommy from high school, i am so saddened what happened to him. he was so brave ..G-d bless Tommy always and his family.

Mammy and daddy(Peter and Kathleen) are still talking about their trip to the U.S.A last year.They were guided around ground zero by Pat and found it so moving and emotional.It was Tom's first time back to that site since his beloved son,Tommy, gave his life to try to save others.
Joanne, congratulations on a wonderful tribute to your brother and for sharing his life with others. My favorite quote was the way he said "giddy-up" and had that twinkle in his eye !! I think that has stuck in my mind and has just joined my vocalbury list!! I will use it many times and think of Tommy each time...
We think of you all often here in Offaly.. God Bless..

My dad James Latassa new Tom. Also my uncle Tom Cramsie. He played basketball with him when they were kids.My uncle carpooled with him. My grandma and granpa drove him home because he lived down the street. A couple weeks ago in the pallisades mall. I sawhis name on a wall that said the people in 911 in Nanuet. I was only 2 when it happened. But I am sad. Rest In Peace.
