PJ (as he was known) was one of the captains of the 1977 Worcester Vikings Pop Warner team. I remember him as a tough, fast, and powerful running back. Yet not only that, he had the best positive attitude among all the teammates. We enjoyed a wining season largely due to his skill and dedication.
Very sorry he was taken too young.
