It is with regret that I report the passing of Chippy Gagliardi - race director of the Rosebank Run for the Roses held annually on Columbus Day in Rosebank.

I had the opportunity to get to know Chippy over the last 8 or 9 years while helping him with the race and am a better person for it. Chippy was a great man and a strong advocate for all things Rosebank. I know I will miss him and Staten Island has lost a strong supporter of running, and sports in general.

Below is a copy of the Obituary as reported in the Staten Island Advance:
