time friend and cousin, Dennis O'Brien.
Mr. Young attended Queen of Heaven Elementary School and Bishop Timon High School. His parents are George R. Young and the late Mary Loughnane. Tom has been a resident of South Buffalo for the last 25 years and is Sales Manager for Commercial Collection Corp of NY. Step Children Renee Kenyon and Nick Faliero, grandchildren Natalya and Celina Kenyon will be joining Tom, his father, and fiancée Vincy Faliero for the Saint Patrick’s celebration.
Tom’s interest in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade goes back to childhood. He is carrying on a family tradition and heritage shared with his uncle and aunt, the late Raymond D. O’Brien (grand marshal 1958) and Catherine M. O’Brien (grand marshal 1984). Their son Dennis J. O’Brien (grand marshal 1988) is serving as deputy marshal for his cousin this year. Tom Young has worked with the Parade since the early 1990s as a Division Marshal. He was elected to serve on the Executive Committee of the UIAA in 2004 and currently works as liaison with the City for Parade Day vendors.
Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Edward Kmiec at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral on Sunday, March 14th at 10:30AM before the line up for the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. The Parade will start at 2PM at Niagara Square and proceed north on Delaware Avenue to North Street. Bishop Kmiec will march with the United Irish American Association which has conducted this memorable Buffalo tradition since 1940.
