Joseph Lee Kaufman

Joe Kaufman was one of the finest people I have ever known and was the truest of Black Knights. He touched his players on the baseball and football field through passion, humor and love! His players adored him and his colleagues cherished his friendship and humor as well. His students enjoyed his teaching and learned to love Math.Every Monday during the fall was a sad but comical commentary of the " Same old Jets"! Yet his dedication and unwavering support for them and the Mets never faded. Joe made the world and Stamford High a better place!
