I am deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Fedele's passing. I remember Mr. Fedele very clearly as a child. I attended Harrison Avenue for Kindergarten ('72-'73?) because Moreau Elementary didn't have a kindergarten class at the time. Being the very first disabled student in the district had its little perks. Mr. Fedele walked me to my bus at the end of every day. I will forever remember him as a caring gentle soul. Rest in peace, kind sir.
