Marblehead Youth Baseball mourns the loss of Dave Stern
With the sudden death this morning of David Stern, Marblehead Youth Baseball has lost a great friend and coach.
Coach Stern managed Marblehead Youth Baseball teams at every level of competition for almost a decade. He also served on our board for more than 6 years, in addition to coaching basketball and serving on the Board of Marblehead Youth Football. As coordinator of the six year old clinic, Coach Stern was responsible for introducing the game he loved to Marblehead's youth, many of whom are still playing the game today. If you ask anyone where to point the flashlight, they will tell you it was Coach Stern who taught them how to hit.
Coach Stern's focus and energy was equally divided among each member of the team, regardless of their skill level. As much as he cared about winning, it was especially important to him that he teach the kids beyond their capabilities. His motto was to always "teach up".
We are deeply saddened by this news, and offer our support to Sylvia, Sam and Jeffrey during this difficult time.
Funeral arrangements are: Monday at 11:00am at Temple Emanu-El in Marblehead. Internment immediately follows at the Temple Emanu-El Cemetery in Danvers
