For those who have gone before us, we dedicate this page. Click on a link to learn more about people in the WJW-WJT family who have had, and continue to have, a positive and lasting impact on us all.
Pat Kelly
Pat Kelly grew up in Webster. He played youth football in the Webster youth program. He attended Webster Thomas High school where he starred in Football and Basketball. He graduated from Thomas in 1983 with academic honors. Pat went on to attend Syracuse University where he starred as a tight end. He played on the 1987 undefeated Syracuse team. He graduated from Syracuse in 1988 with Academic honors. He was drafted in the 1988 NFL draft by the Denver Bronco's. He played 2 years with Denver going to the Superbowl in 1990. He then played 2 years for the New York Jets. His NFL career was shortened after sustaining a serious knee injury. Pat went on to have a successful career with Bear Stearns in New York. He married his wife Kari and they had a son, Patrick J. Kelly III. On March 28th 2003, Pat succumbed to cancer. He leaves behind his wife and son. His work ethic and kindness is remembered by everyone who had the pleasure to meet him.
 
Pat’s nieces cheered and his nephew played football with our organization. Pat’s brother-in-law Michael Nuccitelli coached for the Webster Junior Warriors and Junior Titans family for years. Pat spoke at one of our banquets highlighting his priorities with how family & education always comes first, followed by football.
Kathy LeFrois
Kathy LeFrois was an outstanding individual who helped start our great football and cheer organization in 1994. She always gave quietly and never expected anything in return. She would anonymously sponsor kids in need, work quietly behind the scenes and brought food to the coaches who rushed to the practice field without dinner. Her endless generosity is still recognized yearly by the Kathy LeFrois Award presented at our banquet. We are sure there are previous award winners in the audience today.
Noah Passero
Noah is the son of Dan and Wendy and brother of Nick Passero. The Passeros have been a part of our organization for more than 6 years now. Dan has supported the teams as a coach, Nick as a player, and Wendy as a loving and supportive mother. Noah passed away in April of 2008 due to complications with a heart condition. The irony is that Noah had a huge heart and loved football. Because of his heart condition, he could never suit up and take the field as a Jr. Titan, but he ruled the backyard football games and loved to play.
