Spotty coached my granddaughter Brooke Dinwiddie in softball. She really respected and thought the world of him. He really motivated her on and off the field. He deserves this honor.
Awesome man dedicated and committed to to the players and did many turnaround trips to help out the student players for equipment supplies that were needed
Spotty was instrumental in my growth as a ballplayer, person and even continued to be a reliable mentor through my collage baseball carrier. Couldn’t think of a more deserving individual.
Spotty was definitely an icon to ALL Fontana girls softball… Kaiser softball field definitely needs to be named after such an icon and a mentor to our girls!
Spotty was an amazing person that helped me tremendously during a very difficult time in my life, and always inspired his students to never settle for “good enough”. Anything bearing his name would allow his legacy to live on and inspire future Kaiser students.
NO BRAINER!
Spotty was a hero. A righteous man who loved everyone.

Met Spotty through my brothers Angel, Robert and Gorge Santiago and I can say one thing he expression of love was so real. We added Spotty as a family member that when mom made her burrito we always made sure he had his too.
