(Beaver, PA) A longtime well known Beaver educator and football coach Pat Tarquinio passed away Monday. Tarquinio was in the Beaver County Sports and WPIAL Hall of fame. He coached Ellwood City before spending 34 years with the Beaver Bobcats. Gypsy Glen Stadium in Beaver was renamed Pat Tarquinio Field years back in honor of him. Many looked up to him as a mentor over the years. Tarquinio held the title of most winningest coach in the WPIAL when he stepped down from coaching in 1999. He was 89.
