Dear Gurgick Family,
On behalf of Christina, Amy, John & Kathy we send our condolences on the passing of John. Christina started softball pitching lessons when she was in the 6th grade( at the softball tunnel)she could not even hit the wall. But John, honestly told me that she might have in her to get better. She learned not how to throw but how to pitch & what to pitch from John. As he knew, he always followed his girls. She was able to continue pitching through HS & into college where her name is on the top ten pitchers for lowest era. When her screwball pushed a batter off the plate or her change-up hit the plate during games, "I always said to myself thanks John." It was John that also taught me how to really catch for the girls as well. He had a great knowledge of the sport as well as how to teach. He will be sorrily missed by all that he touched with his knowledge.
Fondly, The Scordato's
