It is with great sadness that we report the passing of long-time ATSNJ member Joseph Cacciabaudo, who passed away at the age of 68, on May 1, 2025, after an 11-month battle with cancer. Joe was an athletic trainer for over 40 years, and retired from the Newark Public School System in 2023. He was also a long-time volunteer with Special Olympics of New Jersey, serving on their medical staff for over 20 years. He was most recently honored as the Gatorade Secondary School Athletic Trainer of the Year for District Two, in 2020. Joe loved the game of baseball and was a lifelong Yankees fan. He was a wonderful colleague, and really cared about the field of athletic training. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
ATSNJ extends its deepest sympathies to his wife, Angela, his children, and his extended family.
