Condolence: Dear Family-Tom and I worked together at The Care Center in Freeport. In fact, he became a deacon during this time. I only have fond memories and I smile when I think of him. He was a bright star in my day and had such compassion and a kind word for others. He made me laugh with his stories and always made me feel that this is going to be a good day! My deepest sympathy to his family who he spoke of in such a loving way.

But, we shall never forget his listening ear and sound advice. He was truly a man of God sent in our time to help and encourage us on "the WAY".

Condolence: As I read the shared condolences for Tom, I realized that he met and worked with each person in the deepest way possible , every day and at every site. That is what made him special, he was connected to us, cared about us, and wanted to give his best to us. He gave us his greatest gift, true humanity...caring, respect, laughter, and concern. Thank you Tom... To his family you are in my prayers......

Condolence: Tom was a welcomed sight whenever he was at IWHS. He always, ALWAYS had a smile and kindness with him. He will be missed on this earth. My condolences to his family. Be at peace, Mr. Jackson.

Condolence: I met Tom when I first started my career at Nassau BOCES nine years ago and he helped me set up my phone. His kind spirit immediately made me feel so welcome. Over the years our paths would cross and I enjoyed him sharing wonderful stories of his wife, children and grandchildren, the little knuckleheads that he loved, as he would say. :) Tom's eyes would light up with such happiness, pride and excitement as he spoke of them. Not only would Tom share his stories, but would be interested in hearing about my family as well. In fact, he always remembered what I shared because it would be months, even years later and he’d ask, “How’s that field hockey player doing?” Tom will certainly be missed, as he has left a lasting impression and I am blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson family.

Condolence: My sincere sympathy to Helen, her children and grandchildren. Tom loved them all and shared so many wonderful stories about them. He was a gentleman who could always make me smile. He will be missed.

Condolence: Heaven is even more blessed now that Tom is there! Tom leaves a beautiful legacy unmatched by most. He touched us all with his kind and gentle spirit -- May God give Helen and the Jackson family comfort and strength at this difficult time.

Condolence: A precious man. My condolences to Helen and his family. I know he is serving at the alter of his King now...

Condolence: My favorite memories of Thomas are his frequent visits to my school at BOCES when he was always smiling and eager to help with frequent telecommunication issues- which were many. He took such pride in his work helping thousands of employees have access to a working phone system. Tom was THE most friendly person I have known at work. Always willing to help, but more noticeable was how often he asked about my life/family outside of BOCES. He took the time to share about his life and how proud he was of his grandchildren; always showing a true loving interest in his work and the people he gave to at work. Thomas was always working with a smile, great humor and, many times joking around, making me laugh. I will always remember such a fine gentleman. May he rest peacefully. And my condolences to his wife Helen and your whole family.
