My dear brother and great friend, I will always remember you as a coach and a man who was an inspiration to all. Through all the lifetime challenges and experiences from Massillon to Miami you inspired me and everyone we had the honor to work with and serve. Most importantly, this includes your entire family and your pride and joy, Rick and Chris, who are two manly fathers and outstanding leaders! Addie & I love you, I will miss you and we treasure the many times with you and Berlinda in Daytona Beach. Massillon Tiger Football will always remember your committment to caring about others and specifically coaching and mentoring the youth of today. The Mainland High School Football players that you got to know and visited with, considered you the "Real Deal". I treasure the moments in Massillon and I am endebted to Sonny, Cliff Wilson, Ralph and Mary Scassa, Ty Partridge, Nick and Jerri Vrotsos and many other community leaders and clubs, and all my 'very special football staff' and many others too numerous to mention at this time, for their "special leadership" that was provided to me and my family and the Massillon Football teams and Community during my tenure as Head Football Coach. God Bless you and your wonderful family and we will continue your mission to mentor and coach and have some fun along the way! Coach John A. Maronto, Addie, John Jr, Monica, Michelle, Margie & Maureen.
