Bo Pagliei, October 27 2017

Naamans Nation lost of member of the family on October 27 when Bo Pagliei passed away peacefully after a long illness.  Bo was a fixture at Naamans games and practices from the time that son Michael was playing tee-ball to when he was representing Naamans and the state of Delaware this past summer in the Eastern Regionals.  Always supportive (and vocal), Bo was also always ready to lend a hand to prep the field, take a station at a practice, and help coach a game.  His brand of fervent volunteerism is why Naamans is such a great league, and he will be missed.  Sincerest condolences to wife Laura, son Michael, and the rest of the family.
