Frank
Joseph Andreone 1927
– 2006
|
Frank Joseph Andreone, 79, a resident of Las Vegas and former GCHS teacher, departed this life on Sunday, June 11, 2006 at the Nathan Adelson Hospice after a long, courageous battle with renal disease. Frank was born in Utica, N.Y. on April 23, 1927, the only child of Joseph and Mary Andreone. He attended the State University at Albany, N.Y. and pursued a teaching career in the field of American history and later Asian studies. In 1962, Frank was awarded a Ford Foundation Scholarship and studied for one year at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. That opportunity created a deep interest in Japanese culture, which continued throughout his life. Frank taught at Guilderland
Central High School in Guilderland, N.Y. and later moved to Las Vegas, where
he continued his professional career at the University of Las Vegas College
of Education until 2002. Frank was highly respected and loved by both his
students and fellow colleagues throughout his teaching career. He was an
inspiration to the many students he supervised in the education field. He is survived by four
stepsons, Steven, David, Peter and Christopher Dozois; two grandchildren,
Matthew and Scott Dozois; and several cousins in the Utica, N.Y. area. He was
devoted to his wife Barbara, who passed away in 2005 after a long illness. A
private cremation was held and Frank's ashes, together with those of his beloved
wife Barbara, will be scattered along The Marginal Way in Ogunquit, Maine, a
place they enjoyed visiting during their years together. Friends may make donations
in Frank's memory to the Nathan Adelson Hospice in Las Vegas, 3391 N.
Buffalo, Las Vegas, NV, 89129 or to the National Kidney Foundation, Inc., 30
East 33rd Street, New York, NY 10016.
