David Magee    The MBUA is wearing lapel pins this season to commemorate the passing of a founding father of our organization David Magee. The 'DM' lapel pins that have been distributed to each of our 16 associations will serve to exemplify the commitment and sacrifice David gave to our group in order to create the best possible working enviorment along with rule interpretations and field mechanics for every umpire from Pittsfield, East to Salem, South to Attleboro and North to Lowell. All umpires under the MBUA umbrella in all locations throughout the commonwealth was what David was concerned about...David was always  about all of us.    David was a decades long baseball umpire both at the collegiate level as well as the high school level. David partnered with the late Sonny Robbins and Ken Jay to establish the first network of umpires that served the Middlesex, Dual County, Merrimack Valley and ISL leagues as well as state baseball tournaments for many years.    A commited family man David doted over his wife Ona and their family whether they were at their home in Tewksbury or their second 'homes' in Maine or Florida. David took his foundation from his home life and applied it to the baseball diamond by being a tremendous mentor and a better friend to dozens of aspiring umpires throughout his career as a leader in the umpiring community.    We all will wear the 'DM' pin proudly, while remembering the conviction to brotherhood and family that David stood for. Thank you, good friend...Bless you for all your examples of commitment to making baseball better for all of us. David's Obituary https://www.stockbridgefh.com/obituary/david-magee
