Coach Bossetti was a fantastic coach and a great man. Many of us St. Charles guys will never forget how tough he was.

Family and friends of Joe Bossetti: I first met Joe when I was a rookie coach on the Whetstone staff under Ray Bellisari. Joe WAS high school football and loved the kids he interacted with and whose lives he touched. He taught me a lot about football but even more about being a sensitive, loving mentor of young men. He will be sorely missed and I will always carry the teachings that Joe passed on to me with me. He was a large reason why I was a successful high school head coach. Simply, I loved Joe Bossetti and all that he stood for.
