We mourn the loss of Coach Gene Barber, a legendary figure in the Absegami High School and South Jersey community.
Coach Barber left an indelible mark on the world of high school wrestling and athletics. As a coach, teacher, and mentor, he exemplified passion, integrity, and care, dedicating ...himself not only to building championship teams but also to shaping young men of integrity both on and off the mat. His teams achieved unparalleled success, including four NJ State Group IV Championships and a stellar 507-137-4 record over 33 years as head coach.
His accolades extended beyond the mat. Coach Barber was the recipient of the 2010 Atlantic City UNICO Lifetime Achievement Award and was honored with inductions into the New Jersey Wrestling Hall of Fame and other prestigious halls of fame.
Coach Barber’s impact on his athletes, colleagues, and the community will never be forgotten. We send our deepest condolences to his wife, Kathleen, his children, and his grandchildren during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Coach Barber. Your legacy will live on in the lives you’ve touched and the victories you’ve inspired.
UNICO National – “Join Us!”
What We Do
UNICO National is a service organization of Italian Americans established in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1922 to “engage in charitable works, support higher education, and perform patriotic deeds”. According to its website, it is the “largest Italian American service organization in the USA”. At that time of its founding, the trial of anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were in the news, and many stories fostered a belief that Italian Americans were loyal primarily to their homeland. UNICO was founded to show that Italian Americans were loyal to America first and held no allegiance to Italy except through cultural traditions.
Unico is the Italian word for “unique”, chosen to represent the one-of-a-kind nature of the organization. The word has since become a backronym which stands for Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, Opportunity.
