Legendary Williamsville South High School softball coach Gerry Gentner passed away this morning after a long battle with cancer. He fought this battle with a lot of dignity and courage; at one point coaching his beloved team with a chemo drip attached to his body. He put his girls first.
Coach Gentner built a powerhouse at South, winning New York State championships and mentoring great players such as Michelle Fridey, Chelsea Plimpton, All-American and Olympian Caitlin Lever, current Griff Lauren Falzone, and many others. I know he was well loved by his players.
Our condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Gentner's family during this most difficult time.
