Death Notices A 17 Paterson educator dead at 62
Harry E.G. Ciarleglio By Michael C. Pollak SUH Writer

Harry E.G. Ciarleglio, director of curriculum and research for the Paterson public schools, died Wednesday night while attending a fund-raising dinner for Paterson Mayor Frank Graves Jr. at the Tides Restaurant in North Haledon. Mr. Ciarleglio, a lifelong resident of Paterson, was 62. Graves said that Mr. Ciarleglio was pronounced dead at the scene by City Physician Dr. Seymour Nochimson, who was also a guest at the dinner.

Yesterday morning, Graves said, he called Paterson Superintendent of Schools Frank Napier Jr. and asked him to prepare a resolution for the board of education to vote on at its Oct 7 meeting elevating Mr. Ciarleglio to assistant superintendent retroactive to July, as a posthumous honor. "He will be sorely missed in the educational process," said Graves. "Mr. Ciarleglio has left . his mark on the Paterson school system for generations to come." Napier said, "There's no doubt that Mr. Ciarleglio was very close to me, not only personally but professionally." Mr. Ciarleglio was one of the first administrators Napier appointed after becoming superintendent in 1976. Napier said that he would handle Ciarleglio's duties for the time being, and that there would be expressions of condolence at the board of education meeting Oct. 7. He said it would not be appropriate to discuss a replacement at this time. ' Mr. Ciarleglio had been director of curriculum and research since 1976 for the Paterson School District, which has about 25,000 pupils and 1,750 teachers in 33 schools. Napier said that as the administrator in charge of testing, Ciarleglio was largely responsible for the improvements shown by Paterson students in the state's minimum basic skills tests in the last few years.

Former School 24 principal before his appointment as director of curriculum and research, Mr. Ciarleglio taught at Paterson Schools 2 and 6 and at Eastside High School, where he was coordinator of the science department, and also served as principal of School 24 for 15 years. In 1960, he received the Freedom Foundation's Valley Forge Classroom Teacher's Medal. Other honors included receiving a plaque from the Spanish-speaking community in the vicinity of School 24 in 1973 citing him as an outstanding educator and a motivating force behind the children and being named the 1980 Man of the Year by the Charles J. Alfano Association, a political social club headed by former Magistrate Charles Alfano.

Mr. Ciarleglio was a parishioner of St. Anthony's R.C. Church, Paterson, and a member of its Holy Name Society. An Army veteran of World War II, he was secretary of the CBI Veterans of Garden State Vasa.

Surviving are his wife, Betty Bianchi Ciarleglio; a son, Harry Jr. at home; two daughters, Dawn of Hackensack and Pamela Grosso of "r I 4 II Harry E.G. Ciarleglio Paterson; a brother, Vincent of Pompton Lakes; two sisters, Katherine Giamenco in Maryland and Antoinette Duchensky in Florida, and two grandchildren.

A mass will be said tomorrow at 10:45 a.m. in St. Anthony's Church, with burial in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Totowa. Visiting hours are today from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at the Delia Torre Funeral Home, Paterson.
