JOHN CENTURINO

Buddy was my best man and a good friend at Northeastern.

Very sorry to learn today of Coach Centurino’s passing. He was our pop warner football coach and we had a blast. He was very influential on us kids at the time giving us confidence and always made it fun. He could call plays and run an offense with the best of them. My condolences to Todd and family. Chad Godfrey.

what a remarkable person Buddy was.Imagine 30 years ago two opposing football coaches from bitter rival towns able to forge a lifetime relationship that also extended to our families.Buddy you were truly special.Never forget you.Mary Ann and I will always cherish the great memories

I was saddened to hear of Buddy's illness and his recent passing. During our freshman year at Northeastern (1961-62), Buddy was in our six person carpool from Everett to NU. Those morning and afternoon commutes to and from Everett remain as fond memories for me.
His cousin, Charlie Boy, was also in that same carpool and Charlie always kept me up to date with Buddy's accomplishments for the past 50+ years.

So sad to hear of Buddy's passing. While we were coaching together I was always amazed at his consistent enthusiasm and positive attitude. Later as he faced multiple health issues, that same positive attitude and enthusiasm was again on display for everyone that knew him.

Buddy will always be remembered as a good man, friend, fighter and role model for how to handle life's toughest tests.

My deepest sympathy to the family for your great loss. I know John will be truly missed. May you find comfort in the God of all comfort because he cares for you. 1Peter 5:6-7
