Edward Magliocco, 89, was a longtime Dobbins High School principal

To students, “Mr. Mag” was “an amazing, amazing person who put his arms around us, gave us all the support we needed,” said Doug Overton, a 1987 Dobbins graduate who went on to star at La Salle and play in the NBA for 11 seasons.

Mr. Magliocco was a South Philadelphia kid who grew up on Wharton Street, the son of Samuel, a shoemaker and Angelina, a schoolteacher.
