John Anthony DeGeorge

He was such a fun guy in high school and he sure does look like Beretta. Last saw him at the 50th reunion and he was up to his old tricks. I´m so glad he was such a well loved coach. RIP Johnny.

My condolences to your family ,sorry to hear this,love Daniel

I just had to write one more statement after reading through all of these great comments about Coach.
I think I can speak for all of us wrestlers who wrestled for him (and others) and put Coach in perspective ...
Coach was the Tom Osborne of Wrestling Coaches! He cared about each one of us and got on us when he needed to (run stairs) and when we deserved it. On the flip side he was always crakin jokes and being funny. He taught us life skills and got us jobs. I can attest to that...

My condolences to Sharon and the boys and the rest of the DeGeorge family. I was surprised to learn of John`s passing. I coached and taught with him a number of years in Millard. He was a very good coach.

Wowww, what do you say to a man that meant so much to me throughout my entire life!!

Coach was truly a father figure to me and taught me to be a Winner, not only on the mat but in my life to this very day. The one and most important thing I can absolutely say about Coach is that he taught me to be a Man!!

The one thing that is embedded and ingrained in my mind is that he always cared so much for all students and his athletes and was always there to help, but most...

Coach DeGeorge was my PE teacher and wrestling coach. A great man who I will miss. Years ago he dubbed me Warren Wheels because of my speed. I carried that nickname proudly. Coach made an indelible mark on the canvas of my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My coach; Unfortunately I wish I would have kept in closer touch with him. He taught me a lot about toughness and a lot about just life. He was a good man who had a great family a great wife in Sharon, and a great bunch of sons. I am greatly sorry for your loss.

John... I heard your name from my husband, Joe, many times because you wrestled together at South. After his passing I moved into an apartment and was able to meet you as you became my neighbor and everything Joe said about you was true. You were a wonderful person and I am so glad I was able meet you. Rest in Pease John.
