Jeffrey S. Parker
8/25/61 - 12/28/18
Parker was as solid as they come - a "crew guy" as we say. Umpiring baseball was his passion, but he was a damn good football official. He was well received by players, coaches, and fans alike - especially on the fields of the Tri-Valley League. RIP Jeff, may all of our touchdown signals reach to you in heaven.
George Owen Johnson, Jr.
7/20/60 - 6/29/18
A friend, a colleague, a brother official, God decided it was time to take you to his sideline in the sky! You may be gone but you will never be forgotten, RIP George, may all of our touchdown signals reach to you in heaven.
One of our brother officials Sal Gulino is fighting cancer - members of MIFOA came together for a softball tournament to help raise money for Sal and his family.
Thank you to everyone that supported and participated!
