In the pandemic-ravaged year of 2020, when COVID-19 grabbed the headlines, there were some beloved people in the local sports world who we lost and will never be forgotten.
In August, it felt like time stood still when word that
Lou Taglieri had passed away suddenly at the age of 59. Taglieri was as much Hoboken as Frank Sinatra, as beloved as fresh bread and fresh mozzarella.
It was such a tragic loss that even legendary Super Bowl Most Valuable Player
Eli Manning of the Giants expressed his sadness when Taglieri, the former Hoboken head football coach, passed on. Taglieri had secured JFK Stadium for Manning, then a Hoboken resident, for use for Manning and his teammates during a work stoppage in 2011.
