I was very sad to hear about Tom's passing. He and Steve Schieffelin were my neighbors when I moved to NS from Mattydale in 8th grade.
I remember when he and the family moved out to Verplank Rd. and I rode my bike out there to see him. At least Davis Rd. was still intact across the swamp.

Yuckel and his brother, David Yuckel. Thomas is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Kathryn (White) Yuckel; daughters, Denise (James) Pellenz and Cassie (Eric) Pezzello; son, Terry (Alison) Yuckel; mother, Janet E. Yuckel; 6 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; brothers, Douglas Yuckel and Matthew Yuckel; sister, Janet Yuckel; several nieces and nephews; and his dog, Willow. Family and friends may call on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 from 4-6:30 pm, followed by a Funeral Service in celebration of Tom's life at 6:30 pm at THOMAS J. PIRRO JR. FUNERAL HOME, 3401 Vickery Rd. (corner of Buckley Rd.) North Syracuse, NY.
I remember Tommy as a kid who lived on Helen street in North Syracuse. Best Memeory--Was when our 8th grade phy-ed teacher at Roxborro-Mr. Nichols, on a rainy day, opened up the seperating curtain of the gym and had us divided into 2 teams to play baseball with a bat and small kickball. The rules--Hit the basketball backboard on the other side of second base with the kickball and you got an automatic double; Hit the baskball rim and you got an automatic triple; have the kickball make a basket and it was a homerun. Well, if you weren't there it would be almost impossible to believe, but Tommy hit the ball with the bat and it went through the far away hoop! I remember looking at his face as he hit that ball, tongue hanging out the side of his mouth as he gave it all he had and I dare say that it was one of the mose pleasurable memories I have from Roxborro.

Very sad to hear about Tom. We attended Main Street Elementary together up until 4th grade and shared many footbal games in his yard!
I will always remember him as Tommy Yuckel and cherish those early memories of our lives!
What I also remember is how many times him and I were sent to stand in the hall in third grade!
My condolences and prayers to his family.
