Maynard Keadle Obituary

My thoughts and Prayers go out to this wonderful mans family and friends. He was the BEST that Perry Hall High School had for a Principal, a Friend and a Gentleman....Rest in Peace Mr. Keadle

My children always referred to Mr. Keadle as "Our Leader" Dr. Yim

My thoughts and prayers are with you--his dear family. I taught 39 years in Baltimore County Schools; the best of those were the ones I spent with Maynard at Dulaney High. He asked me to transfer to Dulaney to start the first dance course in the county. My life-long wish was to teach dance in Baltimore County, so I jumped at the chance. The following years were wonderful. Thank you, Maynard.

My father, Omar Pulliam, and Maynard shared many wonderful experiences while they were working together at Dulaney High School. Although I was very young at the time, I remember Maynard's name being mentioned nearly every day in our home, as my parents talked about their latest shows, students, and plans for the semester. If my father were still with us, he wouldn't hesitate to recount his most cherished memories of his dear friend - a devoted principal and a great person. Know that all of you are in my thoughts as you celebrate the life of a man who brought so much to the lives of so many.

To the Keadle family
This is your old Pediatrician. What an honor and privlege to have this wonderful man entrust his most prized possesions to my care. I share in your sorrow and loss. I will never forget this wonderful father
Dr. Robert E. Yim

Dr. K (as I tended to call him) was a wonderful principal and a wonderful gentleman. I was privileged to attend Dulaney High School during his tenure. After his retirement, I would occasionally run into him in local spots like the grocery store and was touched that he remembered me. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. ~ Louisa Rettew, Dulaney class of 1982

Mr. Keadle was a wonderful principal. I graduated with the class of 1966. I am so very sorry for your loss. He had a great smile. Susan Miller Lintz, Youngstown, Ohio

It makes me sad to see the passing of a good principal who gave so much to his students, family, and community! He will be missed by many. My prayers go out to all! Kim Bathon, class of 79.

Please accept my deepest sympathy at this difficult time. I had the privilege of being in the first graduating class at Perry Hall High and of having Mr. Keadle as my principal. What a wonderful time that was, and it was because of Mr. Keadle's kind leadership. He seemed to be at every event - games, concerts, plays. He is the reason that Perry Hall High is the school that it is!

I was so fortunate to have taught at Dulaney many years with Maynard as the principal. He was a considerate, encouraging leader allowing me and many others to develop our own styles of teaching and classroom management techniques. The Dulaney community gained greatly from his leadership. My sincere sympathy to the Keadle family. Shirley Hoeflich

Mr. Keadle, Was a very nice principal although never saw him much, but when you do he always was kind and thoughtful to us. And remember him fondly when my older sister and brother (74 75) he was always there at every game. He surely loved his job. My prayers are with the family.

I remember him as a great man, leader and principal. I have many fond memories of Dr Keadle. My sympathies go out to the Keadle family. I only saw him him several times after graduation, but he always remembered my name. An amazing feat from someone who had so many students.

To the Keadle Family,
So sorry to hear of Dr. Keadle's passing. He was a wonderful principal at Dulaney, when I was there in 1975 and 1976. He was easy to talk to and was always concerned with the students happiness. I am sure all "his" students, whether Dulaney or Perry Hall, will miss him. My prayers are with the family.

I want to thank you for keeping me on the right track in life. Dulaney Class of 81.

Sorry for the loss of a great educator. Mr. Keadle was our principal through my years at Perry Hall High School 1963-1965 and was well liked by the students. His guidance and concern for all of us was commendable. He will surely be missed by all.

Very sorry for your loss. Dr. Keadle gave all of his students a wonderful place to learn and develop our future life. Even though I spent most of my time in his office for my "antics" in Dulaney. He was truly a part of making Dulaney a great place. Be proud that he was your patriarch. John Winchester Class of 1983.

Sorry to hear about Dr. Keadle passing. I saw him in Wendy's (Cockeysville) last summer. He was a very nice principal and person at Dulaney High School.

So sorry to hear of our Perry Hall High School principal, Mr. Keadle's passing. What a gentle man who always had a smile and the time for a conversation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. May fond memories comfort his family, and friends at this time of their loss.

In the early days of integration, I couldn't understand the harrassment, name calling and mistreatment just because of the color of my skin. But Mr Keadle made it clear that intolerance was unacceptable whenever he learned of any incidents where black students were treated unfairly. He set the tone for others to follow. Things could have been much worse if not for this kind, brave man who stood up for us when others sat in silence and acceptance of a hostile atmosphere and did nothing.
Thank you Mr Keadle. May you rest in much deserved eternal peace. You will not be forgotten.

Marlene Harvey

Condolences to the Keadle family, I am sorry for your loss. I recall when the high school opened--he guided its early formation and traditions. I had an excellent education.
Dr George Leddick, Perry Hall class of 1966

Dr. Keadle did much for me as a student, at Dulaney High School and much for me later in life as my employer... Thank you for all that you gave me Dr.Keadle, I enjoyed meeting your family and working along with them as well. Rest well...

Thank you Mr.Keadle for always treating me like a Gentlemen! You were Dulaney's biggest cheerleader!

Mr. Keadle was one of the nicest people I had the honor of meeting. He did a lot for his students. Sorry for your loss. He will truly be missed. Thanks for being apart of my life. Donna Connor Shea Class of 1966.

I'm so sorry about Mr Keadle's passing. He was a great principal at Dulaney High School. Mr Keadle also took the time to talk to his students if they needed his advice.
Class of 1984

Mr. Keadle provided leadership when the community needed a first class administrator. He was always focused on the success of his students. He defined the words dedicated, class and dignity. We were privilaged to have had him as our Principal. Everyone who knew him will always remember him. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Maynard Keadle was my husband's inspiration to combine his teaching skills, counseling skills and administrative talents to succeed Maynard as Principal of Perry Hall High School. The bonds they established in the 1960's paved the way for a beautiful success story for these two educators and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear of Dr Keadle`s death. I got to know Dr Keadle when my son was a studènt. Dr Keade really loved his work & his student. My thoughts & prayers go out to his family.

Dear Keadle Family- I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of your dad over the years from the numerous sleepovers at Medlow Court, to beach trips (with a switching of drivers at the bridge), and of course my years at Dulaney. "Dr. K" was such a jovial man and I know all of Missy's friends/classmates enjoyed and respected him. Personally, I delighted in his love of Sugar Mamas and other candy, his quirky sense of humor and, most of all, his devilish hyena laugh!

Dr. Keadle was a wonderful educator, principal and man. I attended Dulaney high when he was the principal. Most recently, I saw and talked with him when he would shop at Walmart. He will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Keadle's family and friends. May God surround you with His loving arms and comfort you. Rest in peace, Dr. Keadle.
