In Loving Memory - Mike Verdi

We have lost a member of our Family:

Coach Verdi, we will miss you. Our thanks go out to you for all that you did as a member of our program and for the kind of person you were. You memory will live on forever in our hearts and in the hearts of our children.

Your Comments

If Mike coached your child or you just knew Mike, please feel free to go to our East Meadow Little League Facebook page and leave a comment about the positive effect Mike had on you or your child and the enjoyment you or they experienced in knowing Mike, in playing on his team, or in participating in his clinic.

Although I know his wife and children already know it and it will never remove their pain and sorrow, I'm sure it will bring some consolation to Mike's wife and children to read how much joy he brought to so many people. To leave your comment, just click on this link or copy and paste it into your browser address bar.   http://www.facebook.com/eastmeadowbsa/

Go Fund Me Page

To honor his memory and to help his family through this difficult time, the Division Avenue English Department set up this fund. Mike leaves behind a wife and three children. Please give whatever you can. We’d like to help defray the cost of college for his kids:

Mike’s East Meadow Roots

Mike grew up in East Meadow and played in our program as a child. His dad was also deeply involved in our program. Mike served as a coach on both the boys’ baseball and on the girls’ softball divisions of our program.

The Verdi Clinic Program

For the past five years Mike has continued to be involved in our program by creating and running our very popular summer girls softball “Verdi clinic”.  Mike developed and ran that program to teach girls the fundamentals of playing softball, and Mike did it in a fun way that made them laugh.

The program became so popular that, after just the first year, we decided to officially name it “The Verdi Clinic” in his honor because word had spread about this guy Mike Verdi, what a nice person he was, what a great program he created, and how much fun the girls had. The Verdi clinic would always fill up quickly, but no matter how many girls registered for the program, Mike would never turn away any girl. He always said “we will make it work” - and he did.  The girls always went home happy and smiling from the fun they had while learning how to play better.
