The high school sports world – especially the Old Bridge community – is heartbroken over the loss of the man who always wore a smile, whether he was calling the PA at home Knights’ football games, organizing the wrestling tournament, gymnastics, or printing t-shirts, or minting trophies.
Ron Mazzola died Monday at the age of 61. A lifelong Old Bridge resident, he rooted for everyone to have success, and always had a positive word to say about everyone and anyone.
Tributes have poured in all over social media for Mazzola, and we caught up with some of them to pay their respects to – and share some memories of – the man who will forever be known as Mr. Old Bridge.

Beautiful and much deserved tribute. Ron was an amazing man who made a life of giving so much to so many! Most of all, it came from his heart. As a retired wrestling coach, I always admired and respected his energy, his skills, and compassion that made all of our lives better. He will be missed intensely. May he Rest In Peace.
