Frank Moretti Obituary

Colleagues and friends in Columbia University's Information Services/University Libraries mourn the loss of Dr. Frank A. Moretti. Frank was a leading international theorist and practitioner in the area of digital technology and education, and a distinguished teacher and scholar. He inspired us to think creatively and strategically. He reminded us always that our mission is successful students and great teachers. His work in CCNMTL and in the classroom has and will benefit generations of learners and educators.
We send our condolences to his wife Robin Stern and his entire family.
Jim Neal, University Librarian.

I will always remember his intellectual enthusiasm and his warm personal regard for every one he encountered even though it has been sixty years since I saw him.

I often think about Frank and the influence he had on me because of his scholarship, his liveliness and his great sense of humor. Knowing him led me to a life of loving to learn and to teach that has served me all these years. Rosemary Proe Aubert

I first learned of Frank when he was my son's teacher at Dalton. Later he became my Columbia colleague, and still later our offices were in the same building. Frank was a lovely human being, and a stimulating and creative colleague. He will be sorely missed by my former colleagues at the School of Continuing Education.

Frank Moretti influenced me in many ways even though I only saw him once in all the years since I left St. Bonaventure in 1964. I will never forget him. Rosemary Proe Aubert

Met Frank at St Bonaventure in 1964. I said to my sister Mary Dluhy on the phone yesterday a quote from St Irenaeus. "The glory of God is the person fully alive." Frank lived life fully and the world was the richer for it. I know we were. I am so sorry for your loss. Linda Doyle English

Dr. Frank Moretti assuredly made Dalton School a fascinating place for a college counselor to work with often stressed - out wannabes. I was fortunate to know him from 1987 - 1996. I'm pleased to pass along my only too straightforward feelings to his family, friends, multitude of educators and colleagues. Sandy Feig
