Dear Editor:
The North Bergen Recreation Department’s football program recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary, and with the passing of long time volunteer coach Ralph Orlando, it brings to mind all the volunteers that have rendered their services for both boys and girls these past 50 years.
These wonderful people give of their time, year after year, to the children of our community, like Ralph Orlando did.
He coached both football and baseball with heartrending effort and determination, in hopes to mold boys into men – strong-minded and healthy men.
So let us not forget men like Ralph Orlando who gave to his community and never asked for anything back. God bless him, and may his soul rest in peace.
