I never played for Coach Perniciaro but I always found him as a warm and engaging teacher. He definately had our best interests in mind in all that he did.

So sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was my sophomore Phys Ed teacher at Bishop DuBourg High School and colleague and fellow coach at St. Mary’s High School for many years.
I was able to pass on his death notice and arrangements to a number of people.
I always enjoyed our get togethers like Super Bowl parties, night at races, faculty picnics and dinners. Ed was always so gracious and welcoming. He will be missed by all who knew him.
I want to pass on our condolences to Mary, Ed junior, Mike, Vicki and Pam. You will all be in Benita’s and my prayers. We expect to be at the funeral
Sincerely
Frank and Benita Sohm.

So sorry to learn of Ed’s passing. He was a true gentleman. We shared good times while playing softball together during the late 60s and early 70s. Marilyn and I send our condolences to the family.

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Coach Perniciaro. Though he probably never realized it, he had an outsized affect on my life.
I hope the family will accept our deepest condolences. MJS ‘70

So sorry to hear of Coach’s passing. I was his quarterback for the ‘77 and ‘78 seasons. Excellent coach and even better person. My prayers are with the family. God bless.

Ed was a true example of the Marianist spirit of service and friendship. His generally quiet and effective way of approaching things was a model for many of us who worked with him at St. Mary’s. His inclusiveness and generosity as a colleague and friend are fondly remembered, appreciated, and missed.
Mary, you and the family have been, and continue to be, in my prayers at this sad time. Ed has found the rest he so much deserved as a ‘good and faithful servant’.

Coach Perniciaro was a great man. I had him as a PE teacher while at St. Mary’s. Any time I would see him subsequent to graduating SM in 1971, he always remembered my name and would ask me about everything that went on after graduating. Ed was a true professional and is one of the legends of St. Mary’s. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

My most sincere prayers are with our beloved coach. Even in his most perturbed moments as a coach, you always knew that it was only a passing breakthrough from the caring he had for all of his players.

My condolences to Coach’s family. For three seasons he and I had lots of sideline conversations. He was always supportive no matter the circumstances. I will miss knowing he is no longer among us.

Ed was two years ahead of me at St. Mary’s so I remember his days as a star running back for the Dragon’s football team. Always enjoyed spending time with Ed and Mary at alumni functions and sitting with them at SM basketball games when Ed Jr. coached the team. I have a lot of Perniciaro stories as I am married to one my wife Maria.
Ed was one of the “good guys” and will be missed.
Sorry for your loss.

Coach Perniciaro will be missed. He was my varsity baseball coach for four seasons 68-71. He always encouraged his players to be their best both on and off the field. Coach was a good man who cared about his players and students. He leaves behind many fond memories.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Coach’s family.
