Daily News | American Cancer Society honors Phil Martelli and Fran Dunphy
One day, Phil Martelli received a phone call from a high school coach in Hazleton, who said, “Phil, I need your help. I am dying.”
“Nope, not me,” Martelli, formerly the longtime coach at St. Joseph’s, said Sunday. “And not me or him [Dunphy] built this building. Not he nor I raised 18 million dollars. You did. You’re the heroes. We just happen to be the ones that get in the front.” “We talk about all the time that every table here, there’s a story of how cancer affected all of us,” Dunphy said. “For me, that table [pointing to his family] means a great deal. I’m the world’s sappiest guy, by the way, too.”
