Buffalo News Managing Editor Howard Smith says there’s a huge void in the newsroom without Tom Borrelli…

Tom was critically injured while covering a high school game nearly two weeks ago at All High Stadium.
He fell down what some say was a dangerous staircase leading to the press box.

The Buffalo School District declined to talk about the accident, other than to express its sympathy to the Borrelli Family.

Smith said, “A lot of stadiums in western New York are not what you want them to be, old and damaged It’s something an issue that once this settles we’ll take a look at.”

Todays death of Mr. Tom Borrelli from his fall at the Bennett All High stadium press box was a preventable accident. More important at this moment is for the public to be compassionate towards his family and friends in this time of great loss.
