Thomas J. Briglio
Thomas Briglio, 79, of Huntley, Ill. died on May 3.
A long-time member of SSUSA, Briglio last played in 2015 with the Chicago Geezers 75, participating in the Winter National Championships and the Milwaukee Classic.
Along with the Chicago Geezers 65, 70, and 75 teams, Briglio also played with the Central State Seniors 70, Chicago Strikers 65, and Chicago Seniors 65.
"An outstanding fielder and our No. 4 hitter, Tom was a steady influence whether we won or lost," said Bill Doell, manager of Chicago Geezers. "As age and disease dulled his skills, he became our best third base coach. Wanting to be around his teammates and the game, showed how much he loved softball. We will miss him and his smile."
Briglio served in the U.S. Marine Corps and owned and operated Complete Printing for 30 years.
A die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, Briglio enjoyed playing softball, volleyball, golf and pickleball. Along with his SSUSA teams, Briglio was locally a member of the Huntley Sun City softball teams.
