A longtime Indiana County high school basketball coach recently passed away.
It was announced today that Joseph Lynn Fry, former head coach for Marion Center boys basketball, passed away on Monday. Known to many as “Coach” and “Chico”, Fry’s basketball career began when he played at Marion Center in the late 1960s, eventually becoming a part of the Stingers’ boys basketball coaching staff in the mid-1970s.
In addition to coaching boys basketball, Fry also coached Marion Center girls basketball and softball.
Fry also assisted George Sulkosky at the Homer-Center School District and Greg Lezanic at the Indiana Area School District.
One of Fry’s achievements was helping Indiana to a WPIAL championship win over Beaver Falls in 2015. Lezanic adds that no one was happier in that moment than Fry.
Lezanic adds that Fry was respected both on and off the court.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the John A. Lefdahl Funeral Home in Indiana. You can view Fry’s full obituary here.
