From the New York Times October 1982.
Adam John Cirillo, one of the most successful high school football coaches in the city, died yesterday at his home in Staten Island. Mr. Cirillo, who had suffered from cancer for a long time, was 72 years old.
Coaching Brooklyn Tech from 1939 to 1969, he turned out teams that won 10 Public Schools Athletic League city championships. Mr. Cirillo, born in Brooklyn, graduated in 1929 from Tech, where he was voted all-city end. At Lafayette College, where he majored in civil engineering, he captained the football team in 1932.
His Tech teams won city championships in 1943, 1946-48, 1955-57 and 1960-62.
