Antonio Farrace Obituary

Ti amo sempre

Coach Farrace was my wrestling coach at science hill. Not only that, he was a life coach and was truly like a second father to me my entire life.
A great that I will miss dearly.
Tom terry Jr.

Antonio M. Farrace-known to many as Mr. T., Coach, and to me, simply as Dad.

Though I was not a family blood relative, the Farrace family embraced me as one of their own. From the first day I met them, gran dad (Mr. Johnny) and Nona (Mrs. Concetta), welcomed me into a circle of love and guidance that I will forever cherish.

In meeting Mr. Antonio M. Farrace, he was more than just a coach or a teacher; he was a mentor, a role model, and a friend. His wisdom and kindness touched the lives of so many, including my own. Through the years, he was a steadfast presence, offering advice, support, and a listening ear when I needed it most. The countless conversations we shared are memories I will carry with me always, guiding me through life´s challenges and triumphs.

His dedication to helping young people was unparalleled. Mr. Farrace selflessly devoted his life to guiding those who needed direction, helping them find the right path. It is an impossible task to quantify the impact he had on the lives of so many, but I can say without hesitation that I am a better person because of him. For me, his teachings extended far beyond the wrestling mat or the classroom-they were lessons in life, integrity, and kindness.

As we remember Antonio M. Farrace, I want to express my deepest gratitude for everything he has done for me and countless others. He shaped us, supported us, and taught us not just how to succeed, but how to live with purpose and compassion.

The quote, "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal," resonates deeply in my mind. Because we are left with an irreplaceable void, but also with a treasure trove of memories that will never fade. The love and wisdom he shared will live on in all of us who were fortunate enough to know him.

We all love you, Mr. T. You will be dearly missed, but your legacy will endure in the lives you touched.

With all my heart,
Your Honorary Son,
Damian

He was a good man and a great coach. I enjoyed coaching with him. He taught me a good deal about the game of soccer. I had the honor of coaching one of his sons and Tony was always willing to help me in that process.

Great teacher and friend to my dad (Charlie Hartman)

John, we have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Coach Farrace was such a a kind and genuine person. I loved his class and looked forward to being there each day. He always had a big smile for you and truly cared about us as his students. Prayers for Beth and the family during this difficult time.

He was a larger than life presence on Science Hill campus! My condolences to his family. Craig Campbell

As a student and friend of Tony's, I hate to hear this. Unfortunately I lost touch with Tony shortly after graduation due to my traveling for work. As an outsider in High School, I can proudly sat that Tony was the FIRST teacher/adult I looked up to, admired and respected. He was one of the best. My thoughts and prayers go out to Beth and all the family. Rest in peace my friend. Heaven just gained a beautiful angel.

Loved Coach, my favorite teacher. He made me love American History. Unbelievable wrestling coach, he could pin you with just his legs. So passionate about everything he did. I got to see him when my son wrestled in the Farrace classic in 2015. He will definitely be missed.

Loved Coach Farrace during my time at Science Hill. Such a kind genuine person. He was always my favorite teacher. Prayers for his family---he will be truly missed.

I loved seeing Coach Farrace and wrestling meets and at Mass as well! Such a genuine and generous person. He will be missed!
