SooToday.com has received the following e-mail from Edmonton Eskimo Aaron Fiacconi (shown) of the Canadian Football League, in response to the death of former St Mary's College football coach Richard Maunu:

************************* Dear SooToday.com:

If it is appropriate I would like to submit a general message regarding the passing of coach and teacher Richard Maunu.

I know first hand how he helped raise the competitive spirit and bring out the best in me and many other athletes he coached, taught and befriended during and after their respective tenure at St Mary's College.

Richard was not only a very large influence on my life direction but his passion for athletics and his desire for success were extremely contagious.

Over the course of my university and professional careers, Coach Maunu instilled the values that made me an asset to every team I have been apart of.

Those core values consisted of persistence, passion and a willingness to sacrifice for the greater good.

As both a former student and friend, he will be missed but his spirit will live on strong through all the students, athletes and fellow teachers he came to know and aid during his time as a true professional.

My prayers and thoughts,

Aaron Fiacconi, Edmonton Eskimos Canadian Football League
