John Velleca Quotations

I stopped for coffee and there was a guy under the bridge. He had no coat and was cold. I offered him a coffee but he said he just needed to get warm so I gave him my hat, my coat, and my gloves. The people in the store asked where my coat was and I told them I gave it away and they told me I was crazy but I did it from my heart.

We keep repeating ourselves, we don't change, and we do the same things every week but in a game formthis way they're getting their drills.

I even have some grandchildren of the kids that I had. A lot of kids who's parents came to me are sending their kids back because it helped them when they were young.

I've turned down a few awards too. Being recognized makes you feel good, but I wasn't looking for any awards. I do it for my heart. People were good to me when I was young so I have to pay it back. It's the way I was brought up.

I'll do it till I can't walk any more. I love it. It's part of me. If I stop, I'll just hang around the house and get old. It makes me feel young to see these kids.
