This one hurts. Dick Fossa was without question one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in my career.
An absolute pro, he loved what he did, loved the kids he worked with and was the best athletic director I’ve ever come in contact with. RIP. https://t.co/Jkv0T687QB— Paul J. Spetrini (@PaulSpetrini) June 14, 2020
