It is with great sadness that I share with you the sudden passing of 26 year old Anthony Tebano. Anthony and his two brothers Nicolas and Stefan were players in our League throughout their youth and participated on many All-star and travel teams. Their parents Pat and Debra were very involved in our League during the time their boys where playing, serving as coaches, working to maintain the fields, manning the concession stands and cheering proudly for their boys. Anthony later followed in his father’s footsteps when he joined the Schenectady Umpires Association and had worked as an umpire for our League over the past few years. Many of you know Pat for his broad smile, fair-mindedness on the baseball field and ability to effectively communicate and teach our young players about the game he loves.
My heart and prayers go out to the Tebano family and I hope you will all share your support for them at this difficult time.
Calling hours: Wednesday January 25, 2012 5pm – 8pm at the Demarco-Stone Funeral Home, 1605 Helderberg Avenue, Rotterdam, NY
Burial Services: Thursday January 26, 2012 9am at the Demarco-Stone Funeral Home, 1605 Helderberg Avenue, Rotterdam, NY followed by a 10am Mass at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and internment at Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery.
