SFDS Mourns the Loss of Al Lodl -- Teacher, Coach, Friend

It's with heartfelt sadness that we mourn the loss of another SFDS legend, Mr. Albert P. Lodl. Al was a longtime teacher, coach and friend of SFDS. Al helped mold the minds of young men and young women at St. Francis de Sales High School for over 40 years. He was both an IHSA and CCL Hall of Fame Coach. A reunion doesn't go by without alumni reminiscing about Biology class. "Mitochondria!" "Never Had A Bad Day" and "Time Passes, Will You?" were some of his more notable sayings. 

Services are postponed until a later date. His obituary appears on the Elmwood Chapel website. As we remember this longtime fixture of the East Side, please share your favorite memories of Albert P. on our facebook page.
