Tony Sidoti\’s dedication to his job as the Gloucester Catholic High School athletic director may very well have saved his life.

\”He didn\’t go to school, and if he\’s late he calls in,\” said Catholic baseball coach Dennis Barth. \”The lady in the office (tried to call him, then) called his parents. His father and brother went over, and he was there unconscious.\”

Sidoti has spent the last week recovering at Cooper, undergoing numerous tests to try and further isolate the problem. Sidoti had been working over the past year or so to get his weight under control.

His illness was a shock to the Gloucester Catholic community, which is uncommonly tight despite its students coming from all over the area.

Many well-wishers have visited and sent messages to Sidoti in recent days, something his parents encourage of Umba and anyone else concerned about their son\’s condition. continues
