Gary Martineau

[FPFanatic]

Just saw on the hs softball board about Gary dying in the accident. Not being a plusmember, I could not post this on that board, but Gary taught many travel ball

pitchers who also were high school pitchers.

Gary was truly a gentleman and a class act, he was always cool, composed, and

in control. He never, ever raised his voice, he never had to. He always knew the

right thing to say at the right time, and he knew that sometimes, nothing said was

the right thing to do.

My daughter had many pitching instructors over the years, Gary taught her the

most about pitching, he taught her pitches that others later helped her to refine.

Gary, we will miss you, but not forget you, you are the epitome (sp) of class, and

an example of what a coach should be. Thanks.
