Michael Rotondi

My favorite coach! I’ll never forget you coach ❤

Solid guy, good coach, good father.

Thanks for everything Coach Rotondi. You'll be sorely missed but your legacy continues on in so many of us.

A man who saw something in each individual student . Mr. R is only one of 2 I know of , his friends and co-workers bragged about and he said little of his own achievement . precious memories of a man taking each student aside and chatting , teaching , one to one , teaching how to be an adult .
he had pet-names for each of us ; part of our character he saw and brought out . he wasnt just teaching ; he was living a dream it seemed . Often a first glimpse of true "Love of Life & Living"...

Coach was a key part of an institution at Vestal that will long be remembered. He inspired, he disiplined, he motivated, and he moved. All with a very personal touch. He mentored young athletes to grow the inner strength to succeed in sport and hopefully in life. I'm grateful that he pushed me then. Thanks Coach!! My condolences to his family and the entire community.

I'm sorry to hear the news of Mr. Rotondi's passing. His life is a great example of a life wonderfully lived by the lives touched and smiles it produced. My prayers are with everyone he touched. Vestal Class of 1979

I have fond memories growing up next to Mr. Rotondi! All the Rotondi's had a special place in my heart. Even though I left nearly 30 years ago, I enjoyed keeping in touch at Christmas cards and IF I ever came thru Vestal, I ALWAYS stopped to visit them. It was like a second home being at their house, always welcoming, always interested a big heart! When ever I heard the Saying, you make a better door than a window, I would think of him. When i watched Friday Night lights football..I would...

Mr. Rotondi was such a great man and heaven sure gained a go-getter with a fantastic sense of humor! God bless him and his family and friends, our prayers are with you all.
