Tom Borrelli remembered
Today is the one-year anniversary of the death of our Buffalo News sports colleague Tom Borrelli. Tom passed away 12 days after suffering a fall while climbing a ladder to cover a high school football game.
Members of the sports department are going to gather later this afternoon to remember our late friend, and no doubt to swap some stories about "the Ox" and his unique sense of humor.
Tom's father, George Borrelli, has an essay in today's Buffalo News about the decision that Tom made to have doctors remove him from the ventilator that was keeping him alive. Tom couldn't bear to continue living that way, his father writes.
Tom also made the decision to donate his organs after his passing, so that others might go on living.
