Rec Dept. teams up with Quickstrike

Hello New Windsor. My dad Butch Veronesi is celebrating his 76th birthday today. He was a great role model for us growing up and still is today. We have learned so much from my dad and my mom Rita about how to be good people, as well as good parents.
Both my brother and I had a lot of good coaches over the years helping to turn us in to the players that we become, but my dad was our greatest coach. He taught us how to work hard, to play hard, to play the game with respect, and to be a good teammate. The fact that he has been an amazing father to both me and my brother and an even better grandfather to all of our children is even more remarkable being that he lost his father at the very young age of nine years old. So for someone who only had nine years of his life having a dad, he truly turned out to be one of the best dad’s anyone could ever hope for.

Happy Birthday Dad we love you so much!
