Anna Marie Keller, passed away in Upper Yoder Township, Pennsylvania on October 13, 2015 in her 90th year. Anna was a music teacher in the Northport-East Northport schools and in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Her family wanted to be sure that her friends and former colleagues in New York knew of her passing.
Fred came to the Northport–East Northport district almost 50 years ago. He joined a young faculty which was dedicated to providing an exemplary education and understood that the philosophy of middle school was based on meeting the needs of students — challenging each student while providing a nurturing, progressive environment. Fred was always there for all students. Fred was always there for all teachers.
He was involved in every aspect of student life and was a true advocate for both students and teachers. Fred always treated everyone in a manner that was dignified, fair and clear. He truly treated everyone as he would have others treat him. Like other fine educators who have left too soon … Tom Anderson, Jim Bagley, Ed Newton and Bill Perilli…Fred will be missed, but not be forgotten.
