Essex PS is proud of Mr. Tom Fancsy, our custodian, who has inspired all our community members with his dedication, commitment and perseverance in accomplishing a goal he set out for himself - running the Boston Marathon!! Following is an excerpt from the Boston Herald: As he walked through the crowds after finishing Monday's marathon, it wasn’t hard to find someone walking up to Tom Fancsy. All eyes were on him. That’s what a mohawk hairdo like the one he was sporting, appropriately dyed blue and yellow, will do for you. Fancsy, a native of Windsor, Ontario, was the center of attention, and for good reason. “I just wanted to show support for Boston,” he said. Overall, though, he enjoyed his first Boston experience. “Blown away with the race. It was just absolutely awesome. The crowd, the support, everyone’s loving the hairdo obviously, and everyone is just so friendly visiting here, so it’s just incredible.”
