Dedicating the DiCicco Bench
July 6, 2023
• Community members gather to dedicate a bench to the memory of Dave DiCicco, a youth sports coach who contributed to the Needham community in many ways.
Needham is a community known for its commitment to volunteerism. So many individuals step up, either to keep the town running or just to make it a better place. But even in a community full of active volunteers, it is difficult to find someone who was on the move as much as David DiCicco. Whether it was on a town board or through coaching Needham’s youth, David lived a life of service to the community. His family and friends gathered at Greene’s Field recently to both remember, and pay tribute to him.
