Frank Amato, 47-year Loyola Academy track coach, dead at 96 LAGoRamblers LoyolaAcademyXC
A Loyola Academy track coach for 47 years, Frank Amato saw his student-athletes' lives as a marathon, not a four-year sprint.
"Coach Amato influenced countless Rambler athletes, colleagues, parents, and even opposing coaches," said Dave Behof, a 1992 Loyola graduate."His belief in each athlete he coached led them to believe in themselves and excel on the field, on the track, and in life." That theme of competing versus participating was strong in Amato, not surprising given that he served overseas as a Marine in World War II.
Amato also met his wife, Alice, in South Bend, Indiana, on a blind date. The two married in 1951 and had five children. Alice Amato died July 28, 2022, after 71 years with Frank. Born on Christmas Eve 1926, Amato's first official coaching job came in 1953 at Norfolk Catholic High School in Virginia, where he was the athletic director, physical education teacher, and head football, basketball and track coach. Amato also coached at what now is IC Catholic in Elmhurst and the since-closed St. Thomas Catholic in Rockford and St. George in Evanston.
