Tony Rodia, Carl Rodia's dad, was a quartermaster for the St. Raphael's Golden Buccaneers from 1964 - 1968. He was a plumber and steamfitter, a trade that suited him well when fixing the Bucc's old brass lacquered bugles in '64 and 65. Tony's health was not good in early 2004 and for a while it didn't look like he'd be able to participate in the Pride reunion . But after all, he was able to ride the Pride's parade float the day of the parade and watch the exhibition that evening at Kennedy Stadium. He attended a few Pride practices and renewed old friendships with many of the former buccs and some of his quartermaster colleagues.
