It is with a heavy heart that we report on the passing of one of the top officials in the state and a real good guy, Joe Calvano.

Calvano was a 43 year member of the IAABO Board 33.

During his long and distinguished career he refereed many state tournament and TOC contests and was respected by all.

He also refereed soccer and softball.
