Memories of Sal Lopes

 Fellow coach: 'A true free spirit'

I went to high school with Sal. We played on the J.V. baseball team together. Sal was the team jokester and would always be getting under the coach's skin. His sense of humor was one of his best attributes. After not seeing him for almost 20 years, we ended up coaching together for our daughters' softball team. It was one of the most memorable seasons, thanks to Sal. You were a true free spirtit, Sal. May you live in peace and comfort and know that you touched many lives. God bless your family.
