I am so sorry for your loss. What a special man Coach was to so many! Not only a great football coach but in High school, a teacher who took the time to get to know his students. And he passed me in Driver´s Ed although he shook his head a few times. Mrs Maggio, it was so nice of you both to come to Charlie´s funeral. I´m so glad we got the chance to catch up. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, PJ, Tracy and family. God Bless.

The photo sent with this post is of the seniors on the 1976 Plant High football team that won a then City of Tampa record of 12 consecutive games in a season and captured District, Conference, Regional and Sectional championships. Those achievements would not have been possible without Coach Maggio´s keen intellect, mastery of technique and unquestionable integrity. He was a perfect compliment to Coach Acosta and Coaches Fyfe, Sussman, Nelson and Rogers. Thank You Coach Maggio. With Love and Admiration,
Michael Barber
