Richard Scramaglia

My fondest memory of Rich was when he was in the P.E. Department of Luther Burbank Jr. High in 1958 while I was a student. At Balboa, he was always there to take my phone call and give me Athletic information for the Alumni newsletter and my Hall of Fame Committee. In recent years, we spoke often by phone and our conversations always reached back to the Luther Burbank days and often got a little silly. He´d tell me to do a hundred push ups. Then, we´d have a good laugh. Balboa Alumni Assn....

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Scramaglia. My parents spent many fun filled evenings together with him and the rest of the Potluck family. The Zucca´s send our love and prayers.

You were the best Grandfather I could have ever asked for, may you rest in eternal peace

God Speed to my Godfather! A beautiful human. Any person that I spoke to that knew him, always had wonderful things to say about him. He was an amazing athlete. He was a football referee, baseball player, tennis player, Santa, coach, teacher, friend and so much more. You will be missed my many, but our lives are fuller because of you!

I spent a semester at Poly in the Fall of '69. Rich was the Athletic Director. One of the nicest guys I've ever met. Very humble. Always spoke of what others had achieved, never himself. His body of work and how he treated people were second to none. RIP Rich.

A great man, great baseball player and even better husband, father and grandfather. My pleasure to have known Rich and be able to spend numerous times taking about baseball. He was truly a class act in every way.
