Migli, a talented Avon High athlete, died in 1993 after a courageous battle with Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS). A member of the class of 1970, Migli excelled in football, basketball and baseball, earning 12 varsity letters. He had a passion for athletics and good sportsmanship.
Among the 75 participants were Dick’s sisters Pat Malone and Amy Matsikas, his brother-in-law Paul Matsikas, his former Avon High baseball coach Dick Kelliher and teammates Paul Salvatore, Gordon Britt, George Clarke and Myles Glynn.

Tournament winners were the foursome of Rob St. Jean, Todd Donovan, Ron Theriault and Mark Olsen (gross) and the team of Mike Carlson, Mike Goulet, Andy Letourneau and current Avon High girls lacrosse coach Sean Cole (net).
