Thank You Coach Vosburgh!
“Coach - When I think back on my time with you and the Fisher Family there is so much that stands out that helped to shape my personal and professional life. It is hard to capture it all in a few sentences. That said, the one attribute that I remember most admirable of your character that truly made Fisher feel like a family was your desire to include everyone on the team. Whether it was an athlete, coach, manager or fan; all were welcome to be with us and you set the tone for that. You helped instill confidence in myself and so many by giving us opportunities to be leaders in all aspects of the program at Fisher. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of the tradition and history of such a great program. I will be forever grateful!” - Dave Parks, Assistant Coach (seven years)
“Coach- You taught me countless lessons, many you may not even realize. Your humility and caring approach, your attention to detail, your consistent and level-headed demeanor... These are all things I try to emulate in my coaching career because of you. You're humble enough to believe you don't deserve all the nice things people are going to say about you and your brilliant career... but you deserve them all and more! I wish you the best in retirement. With love, Fitzy” - Curtis Fitzpatrick, player (2000-2004) and assistant coach (2006-2007)
“Coach Vos is the true definition of leading by example and putting in the hard work. You show up for the 6 AM lift, and Coach Vos is already there, full of sweat from his workout that he had already completed. One of the best men and leaders any of us has had the pleasure to know!” - Jonathan Letta, player (2017-21)
“Coach Vos, thank you for taking me into Fisher with open arms from day one. I will forever remember everything you taught me and uphold the values you taught me through my coaching career. Thanks for everything coach!” - Devin Williams, player (2017-19)
“Thanks for everything Coach. Thanks for being the mentor that we all needed and for teaching us not how to be just better football players but better men and better representatives in our community. We all love you. Have fun in retirement.” - Ryan Ballard, player (2010-14) and assistant coach
“Hey coach! I just wanted to say thank you for giving me an opportunity I never thought of having. You were the one who gave me a chance, you were the one who saw potential in me and for that I thank you. You’ve made my college experience absolutely amazing ! Thank you Coach Vosburgh!” - Travon Major, former player
“Coach, you gave us more than football - you gave us family, discipline, and a lot of fun along the way. Your impact will stay with us forever. Thank you!” - Jon Hankin, player (2005-2009)
“Coach Vosburgh was a mentor and a friend. He is one of the most genuine coaches and people I have had the opportunity to work with. His love for his players and his program showed on a daily basis. We had quite the run from 1999-2007. I would not be where I am today professionally and personally without the guidance of Coach Vos. Love you Coach.” - Blaise Faggiano, assistant coach (nine seasons)
“Coach, Thank you for the best 19 years of my life. You gave me the opportunity to work with outstanding young men, their wonderful parents and super Fisher staff under your guidance. You are one of the most principled, hardest working, do it the right way, honest men I have ever known. And you have dedicated your life to teaching those principles to thousands of young men and many older ones like me. We are all much better people because of your efforts. Thank you.” - Fred Cassin, assistant coach (1995-2013)
“Coach Vos! You helped build the Fisher brand to help set up Coach Raby to continue the proud tradition of SJF Cardinals football! You were a great mentor during my time as a student intern and I will never forget it! - Jamie Malloy, St. John Fisher football supporter
