Robert Saleh honors daughter of HS coach who lost life in fire


New York Jets coach Robert Saleh wore a St. Peter’s Boys High School hoodie when meeting the media on Friday.

The choice was a tribute to 6-year-old Rory, a daughter of the school’s football coach,  Mark DeCristoforo, whose life was lost in a house fire earlier in the week on Staten Island, New York.

Per the Staten Island Advance

About 60 firefighters and 12 units responded to the fire, which was reported at 5:38 p.m. at the family home at 110 Brookside Ave. The blaze was placed under control at 6:26 p.m., according to a spokesman for the FDNY/EMS.

The fire started on the second floor in a bedroom, Division 8 Deputy Chief Gregg Hansson told the Advance/SILive.com.

“Mark and Meg, who have dedicated so much to their community, are now grappling with an immense loss that no family should ever have to endure,” said the GoFundMe message. “Prayers for the entire DeCristoforo family through the days, weeks, and years to come, and always remember Rory.”

A GoFundMe has been set up to assist the family. It can be found here.
