    Dear Roxanne and all Peter’s loved ones, I am so sorry to hear about Peter’s death…we worked together in the early 1980’s at John Marshall. He was upbeat and kind, and I remember how well the students related to him. He would talk frequently about you, Roxanne. We also lived off Rocket St and we thought of ourselves as neighbors. I will always remember Peter with fondness. Wishing you much comfort in the days ahead. With deepest sympathy, Mary Silverman

    Mr. Marella was my coach, my mentor, my critic, and my confidant. He not only taught me how to survive on a volleyball court, but also how to survive high school, college, and beyond. My eleven-year-old son just started playing volleyball last month, and I hear Marella coming out of my mouth as I coach him. I am forever indebted for the love and guidance Marella gave me during my formative years.
