Notaro was a PIAA registered official for almost a half century. Notaro, who grew up on the North Side of Pittsburgh, started his officiating career in baseball in 1962. He officiated in the WPIAL for 47 years and also worked football, basketball, softball and volleyball. An inspiration to others in the profession, the Iron City Football Officials Association instituted the annual Tony Notaro Award in his honor and presents it to a football official who dedicates time toward the chapter, to mentoring and guiding younger officials on the field and in finding balance in their family and spiritual lives.
