Always larger than life at Lancaster Catholic, he was my inspiration for attending King’s College. Thank you, Mr. T., you helped another student make good choices in life. May you Rest in Peace.  Condolences to Maria and family.

Our sincere condolences to all the members of Taglieri family and friends.  My dad was a friend of Tag’s, and my husband officiated football with Tag in York County.  Mr. Taglieri was a kind and strong man who was dedicated to people.     He always made his opinion known and was respected for his knowledge and ability to treat everyone well.   Tag made a difference in many people’s lives. A very special man, and disappointed we can not celebrate his life on Jule 18, 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

Coach Tag was a compassionate, caring coach, teacher, role model and just plain human Being. My adolescent world at LCHS was enriched  by my relationship with Coach Tag. He saw and nutured something in me that I was not yet aware of– toughness tempered with a love of the game– of life. After a difficult summer football practice Tag had the lineman practice blocking him. I made contact with coach and engaged him  with my block. Tag gave ground in a way that I hadn’t experienced. He then sent me for lunch.
During lunch hour Coach showed up with a bandage on his nose and told me I broke his nose. I was terrified, thinking all the worst possible scenarios when Tag smiled and congratulted me, ” Schreder, that was the best block you ever made.” Tag gave of himself unselfishly–a true mentor, coach and friend.
Only Love is strong enough to fill the space his loss creates.

Paula, Patrice and Taglieri family, my condolences to you all. I remember our CCD classes at St. Phillip’s church and of course your Dad. My Mom passed away last month so I have been going to her house a lot lately. On the way to Colonial Manor neighborhood I pass by your childhood home on the corner of Fairway and Stone Mill Roads, makes me think of the Family. My God bless you all. I’m not sure if y’all “study” the sports page like I do…but Mike Gross, sports columnist for Lancaster Newspaper, wrote an article about your Dad that appeared in Sunday May 17th paper. I thought it was a great story and brought a big smile to my face. Hope y’all got to read it and smile as much as I did!! If you didn’t,l took a picture of it and would be happy to send it you.

My sincere sympathy to the family.  Mr. Taglieri was my teacher freshman year, 1964. He patiently taught me algebra.  Over the years our paths crossed at the “corn wagon” or St. Philips Church and I was always greeted with a big smile and warm hello. How did he remember?! I won’t forget him, a super gentleman! Denise Dougherty Ziegler

Our condolences to Betty and the entire Taglieri family on the passing of Carmine. He will be forever linked to Lancaster Catholic for his contributions as a teacher,coach,mentor,and AD. His kindness to all, his love for all things regarding Lancaster Catholic, and the energy and attention that he gave to everyone he met were his enduring qualities. He was a very special father, husband, and a good man. May he rest in God’s peace.

Our deepest sympathy to Betty and the Taglieri family. Tag was a people person. He seemed to know and be friends with everyone in the community. He was a casual, carefree person who made everyone feel welcome in any situation. I enjoyed working with him at Catholic High. RIP Tag

April 08, 2020

Our condolences and prayers go out to “coach’s” family at this very difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss. Coach Tag was a very personable and loved teacher and coach. I had the pleasure of playing football for coach Tag in the late 50’s, he was a great person with a great family.

Dear Taglieri Family
As a young coach and teacher, Tag’s guidance during my early years at Catholic High was priceless. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and welcome at LCHS.
Sharing the same office for years, I witnessed, first hand, his amazing ability to hold down his job as full time Athletic Director while carrying a full time teaching load. Incredibly he accomplished this without the luxury of help from an assistant athletic director or a secretary, even though the number of sports teams at LCHS continued to expand. His love for Catholic High went far above and beyond the call of duty. 
As a testiment to Betty and Tag’s parenting skills, they raised a wonderful family. 
Please take comfort in knowing our thoughts and prayers are with you! So many share in your loss! 
Tom and Jo Vargo

My heartfelt condolences to the Taglieri family. He was a man I always looked up to. A mentor to me not just in athletics, but more so academically. He was the definition of “A GOOD MAN”. I know he is resting peacefully now!

Elizabeth and Family, my deepest condolences.  Tag was one of the most honest and sincere people that I have had the pleasure of knowing.  In swimming, track and field, and softball officiating he was a constant reminder of sincerity and honesty.  May God Bless you in your loss.  Tag will be remembered by many of us who worked with him.

My sympathy goes out to Bette and your whole family on the passing of you Husband and Father.  Whether it was seeing him at LCHS athletic events or passing him in the halls as co-workers at Catholic High, he always had a warm greeting and a big smile.  As I’m sure you’ve witnessed he touched many lives not only at Catholic High but in the many volunteer efforts he had in the Lancaster community.  He has truly earned a warm welcome in Heaven.  Sheila Schoeplein

My sincere condolences to the Taglieri family. He was the best. As a coach at LCHS tag left his mark on a lot of young people with his simple but stern guidance. Later he became a good friend going out of his way to help many he new and some he didn’t know. He helped raise an wonderful family. Thanks for a job well done, Tag. I’m sure you are enjoying your rewards.

Betty & Family-
Words cannot describe the loss of someone very special.  I know how I feel, I cannot imagine what you and your family are going through.  My heart goes out to you.  I can only say that I am extremely proud to say that I had the opportunity in life to have Tag as a friend.  He was truly a roll model of what a good Catholic Husband, Father, Grandfather, Mentor, Friend, and Family Man should be.  Again I say “I’m Proud to have known him”.  God Bless You All.  Till we meet again Tag…..

My deepest condolences to the Taglieri family. I met Mr. Taglieri at a very young age at the Italian-American Club, then through playing Basketball in the Parochial School league, and then on to Lancaster Catholic High School.  To me he was always larger than life.  He always had my respect and always will. The one event I will always remember of him was during the 1974 LCHS Girl’s Basketball team’s run to the State Championship. He gave one of the most rousing speeches that I had ever heard. This was his infamous “Veni Vidi Vici” speech which translates to “I came, I saw, I conquered”. As he predicted, the girl’s team did just that. They conquered every opponent. But as I read Mr. Taglieri’s obituary, I realize that he lived his life using that mantra. He always showed up, he saw a need to help, and he made life better for others.  Rest In Peace Mr. Taglieri. You have earned your reward. Respectfully, Dominic Pisano (’76)

April 06, 2020

Taglieri family,
Our sincere condolences to your family.  We knew Tag through many years of officiating both football and basketball with him.  He was a good guy and will be missed within the local sports community.

Many of us were fortunate to be coached by, then remain lifelong friends of, Coach “Tag”. He influenced thousands of young men & women in a positive manner. The world is a better place because of Coach “Tag’s” influence. He was God’s blessing to many.

To the Taglieri Family, Tag took a group of us under his wing in the late 50’s at LCHS and kept us there ever since. At our annual holiday gathering he would do the cooking at the Knights until we could eat no more. As usual. Betty was there to keep order. Thank you Coach, you can not be replaced.

Taglieri Family…  Tag was a good man who will be missed by all who knew him and who’s lives he touched, both professionally and personally.  It’s fitting that his date of passing would have been the first day of this year’s Palm Sunday weekend retreat at Malvern, a time and place I know he loved.  I have no doubt he is celebrating this Holy Week in very good company. Tag, until our paths cross again, “Prosit”, John Carroll

Sorry to read about Carmen’s (Tag as I knew him) passing. He was one of Lancaster Catholic High School’s faculty that made me feel welcome and was the atheletic director who helped guide my early coaching. He was always positive and just a lot of personality. Carmen was a true family man lovingly relating about his children and I enjoyed meeting the Taglieris at games and social events. My deepest sympathy to his family.
