Edmund "Ticky" Vasconcellos, who guided the Roosevelt High School Rough Riders to three straight Interscholastic League of Honolulu football championships from 1955 through 1957, died Friday at Queen's Medical Center. He was 81.

Born in Paia, Maui, Vasconcellos graduated from Kamehameha Schools and San Jose State, where his track prowess earned him a spot in the college's hall of fame. He went on to become a teacher and the Roosevelt High School athletic director for 23 years. His Rough Rider dynasty during the mid-1950s rolled to three undefeated seasons. He also coached Roosevelt to four ILH track and field championships.

In 13 coaching years at Roosevelt, Vasconcellos' teams won 62 games, lost 30 and tied three.

He was known as the dean of Oahu athletic directors. he took over the job in 1952 from his brother, Hank, who was tabbed to coach the University of Hawaii football team.

Before his stint as Roosevelt athletic director, Vasconcellos taught and coached at Konawaena, Kauai and Kaimuki high schools.

Colleagues remember Vasconcellos as a strict coach who demanded a lot from his young charges.

"He was a stern perfectionist as far as football was concerned," said Stanley Chung, who followed Vasconcellos as Roosevelt athletic director. "Things had to be done his way. You had to repeat and repeat until he was satisfied. And there was a warm side of him too. People who graduated and came back can attest to that."

Golfing partner Dr. Albert Chun, who served as team physician for 18 years, agreed.

"It was a lasting impression," Chun said. "I think he straightened out a lot of them. He was a task master but fair. He was a good man."

He is survived by his wife, Hermine Vasconcellos; son, Kumu (Shari N.); daughter, Sue Ann (Allen D.) Napoleon; two brothers, Stephen and Robert Vasconcellos; two sisters, Beatrice McDonough and Caroline Stender; seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Visitation is scheduled for 10 to 11:30 a.m. Thursday at Borthwick Mortuary Makai Chapel; service at 11:30 a.m. with inurnment to follow at 1 p.m. at Hawaiian Memorial Park Cemetery.
