A statement from the WILOA Board
In Memory of Gordon Corsetti
As many of us already know, Gordon Corsetti passed away. Not only was Gordon an outstanding Official, and Official Trainer… he was an outstanding advocate for mental illness and wellness. His loss will be felt by all of us for a long time. Gordon loved lacrosse and the brotherhood that came with the officials association.
Gordon created the Boys Officials Training videos that is a requirement to becoming an Official, and many of the training materials that we still utilize today. “I wish Gordon’s online training was available when I started. It would have put me two years ahead in my journey.” - Randy Kohn
Not only was Gordon an advocate for Officials, he was an advocate for Mental Illness and Mental Health. His articles and writings of his own struggles are without equal. He was relentless in his pursuit of being the best he could be, and telling those who needed help to reach out. Mental health is a serious issue and should be talked about, in a positive manner. If you or anyone you know is in need of help, PLEASE reach out and get that help. Gordon is gone too soon from us and will be forever missed.
Sincerely,
The WILOA Board
