I can only speak of what my father thought of Coach K and myself playing in the four team Babe Ruth league Yellow Blue Green and Red. He personified class and he treated everyone the right way. He was such an important part of a great organization Sorry for your loss Joe Stauffer

Thanks for this memory, Tuck. My dad loved those summers and you were often mentioned as one of the guys he loved to coach. (and I'll admit one of his memories was my hitting a homer off you!). Take care and be well, my friend. Rick

My sincerest condolences to the Keshishian family on the passing of your father. I played one summer for Mr. "K" and that was in 1982 and it was very special.. He managed us to the NJ Babe Ruth state title. It was one of the greatest times of my life that I still think of often. When I do your father is prominent in those great memories. I have so much respect and admiration for Mr. "K." I would see him over the years and we would have great conversations about that time and our beloved Yankees. All the boys he coached were very lucky to have known him at such an important time in our lives. God Bless you Mr. K. Rest in peace. Frank Connolly

Thank you, Frank, for sharing this thoughtful memory of my dad. He spoke often about that '82 team until his last weeks. Was so proud of the team and all the kids he coached. Rick

To the Keshishian family, The entire Teel Family send our Condolences on Mr. K’s passing. Can’t begin to share all the life memories this special man and coach bestowed on us and much of the youth of RP.. will miss his Popeye impersonation and the VW biug was legendary. Never once saw him raise his voice to a player coach or umpire.. We became better people because this man truly cared about us .May he RIP . He will be sorely missed but never forgotten. He’s up with LaPolla ,Bufumo ,Heck and Perrotta and Andy Gray is umping their games in heaven.

Hi Steven. This is Rick K. Thank you for your condolences. My dad had so many great memories of his coaching days and that Babe Ruth team was one of his top 10. He often told stories of it with great pride.

Hey Mike, This is Rick K. Thank you for your very kind remarks. Dad very often talked of his LL coaching days and those old Elks clubs. He described you a one of the purest lefty hitters he coached.
