Roosevelt Island Youth Program (RIYP) Executive Director Charlie Defino reports:
ROOSEVELT ISLAND YOUTH PROGRAM MOURNS THE LOSS OF A FRIEND
Last Friday the Roosevelt Island Youth Program and our community lost a good friend to the program and ardent supporter to youth services on the island. Brian King,
a RIYP Board Member and sports coach volunteer passed away last Friday after battling illness for the past year. Brian leaves behind his children John, Laura and his wife Kathleen………, and a grateful Roosevelt Island Youth Program and community.
Brian understood the true meaning of a inclusive competitive recreation program for youth
and made every effort to make the experience a memorable one for each and every child under his care. Brian will be missed.
Condolences to Brian King’s family, friends and colleagues at the RIYP.
