Siro Martinello was born in Poggiana, Province of
Treviso, Italy, on May 10th, 1933. He passed away on January 27th,
1983.
The combination of the pursuit of excellence in education and sport,
along with sharing talents with others through community
involvement, was something Siro believed in.
He flourished in fastball and basketball
in the city recreation leagues during the 1950's.
He was a pitcher in the Ontario Championship Duplate Glass Intermediate
fastball club. His athletic career was cut short, in 1958, by a
long struggle with tuberculosis, which left him bedridden for over
a
year. Siro focused on
pursuing an excellent coaching and managing career during the 1960s.
One
of Siro's main objectives was to assist the young people of our
community in furthering their educational dreams through their
athletic abilities.
