We send our deepest sympathies to the O´Leary Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Condolences to the family. Best teacher I had at USCS. Lectures and chalkboard closely tied to textbook modules, weekly quiz each Friday. His curriculum had a machine-like efficiency, but Mr. O´Leary was warm and laid back, with a contagious smile and sense of humor.

Calculus with O'Leary was so fun! It was a small group, and it gave us a great chance to get to know him. In earlier years (Sequential 3 as juniors?), I had admired his capacity for crowd control in bigger classes - a gentle barb, artfully aimed was enough to get things on track. Through it all, he was so approachable and down to earth. Rest in peace, big guy. Condolences to all who knew and loved him.

One of my favorite teachers. My condolences to his family. USCS Class of 1985

THE best teacher I ever had in my life. I remember being a senior at Union Springs and Mr. O´Leary turned me on to a math programming language called Fortran. I then went on and got two degrees in Information Technology and worked professionally at it for 35 years before retiring early. This was all because of that one day. This man changed my life. Thank you Mr. O´Leary - God bless you - Rest in peace.
