Robert Sondheim, Sharon High School’s former Athletic Director, died Monday, according to an announcement on the Sharon Public Schools website Tuesday morning.
The cause of death was not immediately clear Tuesday.
Sondheim was part of the Foxboro Cable Access high school football broadcasts in the 80s and 90s. He retired in 2012 after more than a decade serving as Sharon's athletic director and as a swim coach. Sharon Patch columnist Paul Izzo weighed in on Sondheim's retirement, his contributions to the town and the search for who would fill his shoes.
