Anthony Suglia, longtime teacher at Passaic Valley High School, dies at 88
Anthony Suglia of Little Falls, who left a teaching career at Passaic Valley High 
School to promote economic education at the national level, died March 5. He was 
88. 

The cause was complications from diabetes, said his daughter, Toni McClure. 

Suglia, a Navy radar expert who participated in World War II's Battle of Okinawa, 
arrived at Passaic Valley in 1949 after graduating from Kutztown University in 
Pennsylvania. 

Suglia was a popular social studies teacher and class adviser and an assistant 
football coach and head coach of varsity basketball. 

Over three consecutive summers in the 1960s, he completed a master's in economics 
at the University of Illinois. He then incorporated economics into his lesson plans at 
Passaic Valley. 

"He taught the kids practical things, such as the stock market, banking, why to 
invest, how to invest," his daughter said. 

Influenced curriculum 

In 1975, Suglia was recruited by the Joint Council on Economic Education, which 
provides curriculum tools and support to schoolteachers. 

As a director of the Manhattan-based organization (now the Council for Economic 
Education), Suglia traveled widely among universities and Fortune 500 companies. 

He missed the classroom, his daughter said, "but felt he was reaching more students 
by working for the council. He believed it was important that everyone knew how the 
economy worked, and he couldn't achieve that by staying at Passaic Valley. He felt 
he was still teaching, but he was teaching the teachers." 

Tony Pike, a British exchange student who graduated from Passaic Valley in 1964, 
was taught American history by Suglia. 

"You always remember a good teacher, one who was firm and fair, and he was firm 
and fair," said Pike, who added that discussion was at the core of Suglia's teaching 
style. 

"He would never say 'I think this' or 'I think that,' Pike said. "He made you think about 
things and work it out yourself. What a clever man." 

Pike, who is in the diamond business, eulogized Suglia on Monday at Holy Angels R.C. 
Church in Little Falls. He was among 40 former students who paid their respects, and 
he came the farthest; he lives in England and South Africa. 

Suglia, who served on the Little Falls Board of Education from 1986 to 1992, is 
survived by his wife of 63 years, Juel; his daughter, of Woodland Hills, Calif.; three 
siblings, and two grandsons. A son, Michael, died in 1977. 

Arrangements were by Bizub-Parker Funeral Home, Little Falls.
