Mr. Rossi was my driver ed instructor how I used to drive him up the wall I'll never forget one day I was the only one with a permit in the car and he went into Reddy's Deli and came out and I had moved the car and the Board of Ed came outside with him he was not a happy camper he was such a pleasure as a teacher I got such a kick out of him he's in a better place and I thank you for my driving lessons they took me a long way everyone who knew him was blessed

Coach Rossi,

     You were my teacher in first grade at San Remo Elementary School .... my football and wrestling coach at Kings Park Senior High School ... you taught me how to drive a car .... you taught me how to drive a golf ball.  Several years ago, in Portland I gave a professional talk and dedicated to several teachers.  You and your wife were part of that talk.
   You were a teacher's teacher and a coach's coach.  You taught  about having a work ethic.  You taught to play hard and fair.  You taught  how to lose with dignity with good sportsmanship.  You were a key person and played a very important part of who I became.  From the very bottom of my soul  I thank you.
   You .... Jerry Rossi ... made a difference in this world.   Wherever you are now,  I hope you get a "hole in one"

I was privileged to have Mr. Rossi as my Physical Education teacher at San Remo Elementary School.  Many years later, he was my Driver's Education teacher at Kings Park High School.  He had genuine care and concern for his students.  I will always remember his wonderful sense of humor.  My condolences to Jackie and his family.
