Kevin Gannon wrote a sympathy message

“As co-captain along with Wally Kempka of the 1974 National Championship team we ALL send not only our condolences but our tremendous thank yous to Coach Orbaker for paving the way of excellence for Brockport Soccer. He set the bar very high and when you put on the Golden Eagle strip nothing but 100% effort and passion was demanded. He is truly a “legend” of Brockport Soccer and it was an honor to always do my best to represent the “badge” and the legacy he brought to the program.”
