Inscription.
Tommy Coveleski. "TC". TC grew up a lifeguard for his family and friends, with the Atlantic Ocean forever and always reflected in his eyes. TC wore the red trunks of the Rehoboth Beach Patrol beginning in 1971. For 36 years, he watched over swimmers and found lost children while guarding and maintaining the traditions instilled by his father Frank, better known as "Coach." TC assisted with the Junior Lifeguard program and the Recreation Department on the beach. He inspired volleyball, basketball and a wiffle ball field of dreams, bracketed by beach umbrellas. A Pat Knight Award winner for service to youth sports, TC mentored young athletes for more than 30 years, from Rehoboth Little League to YMCA basketball. Through all those seasons, he has basked in the life achievements of others and remains a steadfast and loyal ambassador of the RBP.
