He was in a very happy, positive mood at the time of his passing. He was in love and excited about getting married. |
He was in the under-23 squad and he was a bit disappointed he wasn't playing more. But he said he is over that now. |
He was just a dynamic player, and he didn't get enough credit for his defensive play. He was great in his own zone. |
He was just a good guy. I can't tell you how much he loved the people he worked with. He treated them with respect. |
He was just a little goofball. Everybody loved him. My heart aches for (father) Frank (Tortoriello) and his family. |
He was just a terrific guy. He had great spirit - very vibrant, fun, eloquent. He had just a great way with people. |
He was like a kid in a candy store. When he found out you could test drive a car, he drove every car he could find. |
He was moving around the room and instead of lying in bed he was sitting in a chair. He wanted to get out of there. |
He was not alone in his vision, but he pursued it more vigorously than anyone else. He was never afraid of failure. |
He was on the phone. He's always on the phone. So I kind of just stopped him and said, 'Hi. It was good seeing him. |
He was one tough son of a gun. He weighed about 175 pounds when he fought Charles, but he went toe-to-toe with him. |
He was real close to his family, his friends and God. He just wanted to help people. He had a very caring attitude. |
He was really important to me during my rookie year. Everybody knows how I feel about him as a player and a person. |
He was supposed to be coming home to celebrate Christmas and his son's birthday. Instead, he's coming home to this. |
He was suspended for disciplinary reasons through the charter school, which made him ineligible for Juniata Valley. |
