Former Hudson Valley Community College athletic director and the college’s first football coach, Joseph Purello, died this past weekend. Joe was a longtime coach for several sports at the college, and, in addition to starting the football program, he coached two teams to the Junior College World Series. He was 95 years old, and before his passing, plans were being made to honor “Coach” Purello at the upcoming Athletic Awards Banquet.
Services will be held later this week. His obituary can be found here.
