I just found out of Mrs. Fleck´s passing. She and her husband were friends of my in laws. At my first community meeting at East Williston, I was pleasantly surprised to meet her. We saw each other a few times at St. Agnes in Greenport. May she rest in peace and may your memories bring you comfort.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of this great icon in the EWSD. Mrs. Fleck was a guiding light while I served as Superintendent. She knew the history of the district and cared deeply about preserving the programs and services that had made the district as distinguished as it was. I always appreciated her frankness. We knew where she stood and always knew that she was presenting her points from a deep commitment to the district. may she Rest In Peace. Her memory is a blessing to us all.
