BRICK, NJ — Along with the memories that continue to spill out across Brick Township of the man so many called "Coach," a number of videos have been recirculated that capture Warren Wolf.

A viewing for Wolf, who died Friday at 92, will be held from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29, in the auditorium at Brick Township High School, said Len Zdanowicz Jr., the Brick Dragons' current coach, who also played for Wolf. Complete funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

"Coach Wolf’s impact on the lives of all he touched along his journey and his dedication to his community and love for Brick will undoubtedly be his legacy; one which will resonate with many generations to come," a written statement from Brick Township school district officials said, noting his career as an educator included physical education teacher, assistant principal at Brick Township High School, assistant superintendent, and then deputy superintendent of the district. He also served on the Board of Education.
