Dr. Larry J. Macaluso
Dr. Larry J. Macaluso, 68, of Galloway Township, N.J., passed away Aug. 19, 2021, at Fox Chase Jeanes Campus in Philadelphia, after a lengthy illness.
A native of the New Columbus section of Nesquehoning, he was a son of the late Joseph and Anna (Cellucci) Maca-
luso.
After earning his diploma from Panther Valley High School in 1970, Dr. Macaluso graduated from East Stroudsburg University with a bachelor's degree in education. He earned his master's degree in administration at Lehigh University and his doctorate at Temple University.
Dr. Macaluso began his educational career in the Allentown City School District (1974-1987), first as an elementary school teacher at the Jackson school, then as principal of the Dodd, Cleveland and Washington schools.
Dr. Macaluso served the Red Lion district for 20 years - 17 as superintendent and three years as assistant superintendent. He retired on June 30, 2007.
Upon his retirement as superintendent of the Red Lion Area School District in York County, the board of education named a newly constructed elementary school in his honor in 2009.
Because of his love of working with others and being a lifelong learner, following his retirement, he was an adjunct instructor at Temple University and a sales and human resources associate at Macy's.
Dr. Macaluso really prided himself on genially caring and knowing all students and staff of each school district he served.
Survivors include his sons, Michael Macaluso of Windsor, and Matthew Macaluso; his daughter, Kristina Ogurcak; and their mother, Jeanne (Conway) Macaluso, all of Red Lion; three grandchildren, Gwen Macaluso, Isaiah Ogurcak and Colton Ogurcak.
He was predeceased by a brother, Joseph Macaluso; and a sister, Marie Rose Frassinelli.
