Mr. Cullen was my first coach and he was far-and-away the best coach I've ever had. He taught me how to play first base and situational baseball like no other coach. I loved practices with Mr. Cullen and always admired how he was with his kids, Lefty, B, and C. We had amazing times winning games with a very close-knit team under his leadership. We would also enjoy great times together outside of baseball at the Stern and Dragoset pool, cook-outs in the park, and late-night swimming at Bowtie pool. He taught me how to win and had a tremendous impact on my life. He will be greatly missed. Elisa and I send our condolences and deepest sympathies to his family.
