To the family of Coach Chickerella, I was so sorry to hear of the Coach's passing. I was a student at Linden McKinley when he was coach there. He always had a smile on his face and never had anything negative to say about anyone. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Vince Chickerella coached my late husband Paul Grossman at Linden-McKinley in the 1960 in Basketball and Baseball. Paul always spoke so highly of him and we went to some of his games at Capital and Otterbein because he admired his coaching skills so. I'll bet they are having a great in Heaven going over old times!

I am so sorry for Coach's passing. He was a true mentor to so many of us. I was fortunate to have played and excelled under his guidence. Coach will always be remembered for not only his guidence, but his friendship of over fifty years.

Dear Janice,
I don't know if you remember me, but it's Denise Caldwell (Murray) . I lived across street from your family on Cheyenne Drive in Westerville Ohio. Andy use to play with Jimmy.
My husband also attended Linden McKinley High School.
I just heard this afternoon of your fathers passing and I just wanted to say I am so sorry and I was thinking of you.
I wanted to send you a card, but I had no idea where to send it.
I just wanted you...

I remember Vince Chickerella at Linden McKinley HS during early 50's. I did not have him for a teacher, but everyone knew who he was.
