FRANK JOSEPH ANDREONE
LAS VEGAS, Nev. Frank Joseph Andreone, 79, a resident of Las Vegas,
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.
