NY District 18 Little League is sad to report the passing of Joe Sagaria, longtime District 18 Administrator at the age of 80.

Mr. Sagaria was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1944, and his favorite past time was Little League®. Mr. Sagaria served as the New York District 18 in Rockland County for 25 years, during which he was instrumental in the startup of the Challenger Division, geared towards those with disabilities. He would send New York teams for the summer to Bristol, Connecticut, to participate in the East Region Challenger Fun Day.

He is survived by his son, John; daughter, Chrissy; and grandchildren, Joshua, Justin, and Alexandra; and is predeceased by his wife, Rosemary, and his son, Scott.

Please keep the Sagaria family in your thoughts and prayers.
