D’Armi coached the Blue Devils’ baseball program for seven seasons and also served as the director of athletic facilities and game management for all of the school’s sports — totaling 28 years of service to the university when he retired in 2004.
As a coach, D’Armi guided Duke baseball to 125 wins and five consecutive winning seasons during his seven-year tenure from 1978-84. He coached eight All-ACC selections and seven Major League Baseball draft picks during that time.
D’Armi’s family has asked that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Tom D’Armi Scholarship Fund, c/o Mary Dinkins, Duke Athletics, Box 90542, Durham, NC 27708.
D’Armi was predeceased by his wife Jane D’Armi and is survived by his son Mickey D’Armi. A celebration of his life is being planned for August.
