Time to Honor Coach Frank Guadagnino

This petition has been created to recognize and honor Frank Guadagnino for everything he's given to Fair Lawn High School, past and present students and of course the wrestling program and it's legacy. When he retired, the first thing that came to my mind was, "when will they rename the "C" gym after him?" It's been over ten years and he still hasn't gotten the recognition and respect he deserves. When you go down to the C gym, and you look up on the wall, you see the names of all the wrestlers that he coached and their accomplishments, but nothing about him.

No other coach in Fair Lawn High School history has been as successful as he was coaching any other sport that Fair Lawn has to offer. He not only turned around and maintained arguably the best program in Cutter History, but he had an enormous impact on every one of his wrestlers and coaches that will last each one of us a lifetime.

Coach Guad was able to teach us things about ourselves that we didn't know existed, and beyond that, turned us into men. For those that know him well know that he was never one that wanted the glory or the spotlight, simply the respect.

We each could talk for hours about our personal stories we have regarding our experiences wrestling at Fair Lawn under Coach Guad, but we need to make sure that for those that aren't/weren't fortunate enough to be impacted by him, that when they walk into that room, they can understand the influence he had on all of us.

Let's sign this petition and give back a fraction to a man that's given us such much more.
