Richard Lunardi came to Church Farm School in 1981 to be the school’s guidance counselor. During his 31-year tenure, he touched the lives of countless students in his roles as Director of Admissions, teacher, college counselor, administrator and coach. Rich had a passionate belief in the educational value of the CFS Athletic Program. An avid sports fan, he was the head coach of the cross-country and lower school basketball teams before assisting for 10 years at all levels of the CFS baseball teams. He also loved to run the scorer’s table for basketball and wrestling. Rich was one of the most loyal supporters of the CFS Griffins at home and away events, believing it was vital to show up for our boys who often did not have family there to encourage and cheer them on. Rich passed away on November 5, 2013, after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer.
