GREETINGS FROM THE YMCA
Welcome and Good Evening,
It is with great pleasure that I greet all assembled here tonight in celebration of
the YMCA of Greater Bergen County’s 49th Annual Sports Award Banquet.
The Y is a powerful association of men, women and children joined together by a
shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living
and fostering a sense of social responsibility. We believe that lasting personal
and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in
kids, our health and our neighbors. That’s why strengthening community is our
cause. Every day, we work side by side with our neighbors in our communities
to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the
opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
Congratulations to tonight’s honorees and thank you for all that you do in your
schools and communities. We recognize each of you for your personal and athletic achievements, and for instilling in each other a collective sense of what is
right and what is good. These are values that you have learned while competing
in sports, and values by which you have chosen to live.
Thank you to the members of the Sports Award Committee for their hard work
and dedication in putting this event together. It is truly one of Bergen County’s
premier events.
Finally, I would like to thank all the businesses, corporations and organizations
participating in this year’s banquet that provided financial support for Y programs that serve the greater Bergen County community.
Again, congratulations to all here tonight and best wishes for continued
success.

and disciplinarian.
Bob is one of Bergen County’s most successful baseball coaches, winning
three state championships, seven state sectional championships and 14
league championships. He has a win/loss record of 526-227. His varsity

During Bob’s last game at Emerson, his wife, Judy, invited some former players from various decades to support him.
“It’s all about the relationships,” said Bob, “not always about the wins and losses.”

SPORTS AWARD BANQUET HONOREES
JAMES KELLY
Richard Poor Service to the Community
An avid supporter
of the American
Special Children’s
Pilgrimage Group
(ASCPG), James
Kelly, has given his
free time to help
young people with
special physical
and developmental
needs.
The ASCPG is a non-profit organization
that unites children and young adults
with special physical or emotional needs
with volunteer caregivers for an unforgettable week in Lourdes. The week is packed
with social and spiritual activities for
over 5,000 people from Ireland, England,
Scotland, Wales, the West Indies, Croatia, Romania and the United States. The
special needs pilgrims travel without their
parents; instead, caring volunteers from
all walks of life – doctors, nurses, priests,
professionals, retirees, teachers, carpenters, students – travel with and care for
them in a family-type atmosphere.
The volunteers pay their own way and
work tirelessly to raise the funds for every
special pilgrim to experience Lourdes.
Since the inception of ASCPG, approximately 200 young people from the tristate area have traveled to Lourdes. The
organization is funded solely on private
and corporate donations and is 100%
volunteer driven. Although the pilgrimage began with European children, in
the 1990s, the ASCPG was formed by
Jerry Flood, to include pilgrims from the
United States as well. A long-time friend
of Jerry’s, James decided that it was time
to make the trip. It has now become an
annual commitment. James works each
year to raise funds through friends, family
and local businesses and organizations to
support the pilgrimage.
James is currently the Mayor of Dumont,
the town where he grew up and later
decided to raise his family. He has been a
member of the St. John’s Knights of Columbus for over 40 years, an organization

them back. Born seventeen months apart,
the boys were always encouraged by their
parents to be active and they took that
advice to heart.

simply shaking the wrong hand at a
coaching clinic. It began with an intense

a coma. His wife was told to get her
affairs in order. The doctors don’t know
how, but he fought through it.

title (1998) and one of two coaches
to win NBIL divisional titles. He also
brought Ramapo to the final four of
the County Baseball Tournament twice.
Joe was twice honored as Coach of the
Year by the Ridgewood news and his
1997 County Championship team was
honored by the Bergen Record and the
BCCA as Team of the Year.
On the hardwood, Joe worked under
Stan Kaminski before attaining the head
position and also left an indelible mark
at Ramapo. In his 13 years, Joe developed 12 All-County basketball players,
won the Fort Lee Holiday Tournament
three consecutive years (1998-2001),
won the NBIL Division title five years in
a row (1998-2002) and then again in

game win/loss record in NBIL history
(16-0) and Joe has personally received
Coach of the Year honors by the Ridgewood News three times as well as being
given the Howard H. Bollerman award
by BCCA in 2004.
As dedicated as he was to Ramapo,
Coach Del Buono’s dedication to athletics went outside the realm of our
school. Joe is a past president and current Secretary/Treasurer of the Bergen
County Coach’s Association, a member
of the Bergen County Tournament
Committee, was the Freshman County
Basketball tournament Chairperson for
11 years, and has been responsible for
All-County, Player of the Year and Team
of the Year selection and presentation.
Joe graduated from St. Luke’s High
School in Ho-Ho-Kus in 1964. He then
went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts
at Montclair State University. He later
attained his NJ Supervisor’s Certificate
and a Master’s of Science from Bridgeport University. He taught history at
Midland Park High School for 27 years.
Coach Joe Del Buono will always be remembered for his professionalism, work
ethic and dedication to athletics.

committed to teaching. With the help
of colleague Sheryl Soucy, he developed an entirely new wellness-based
curriculum for Ridgewood High School

Chuck believes that his success in
coaching and teaching is based on
creating a “relaxed, comfortable working relationship with each student and
each athlete.” He creates a rapport
to “promote engagement and performance of the learner/athlete.” He
