I attended NOA from 1st through 8th grade and was blessed to have been taught my last three years by Allen, Frank France and Mrs. Ellis. They personified the NOA experience and made education an enjoyable and unique experience that helped build character. More recently I worked with Allen and Joyce as their financial planner and was always glad to visit with them and learn what was happening with the NOA community. Thank you , Allen. Bill Monsted 1971
I taught with Allen at Stuart Hall during the 1990's. He was always kind and upbeat and completely dedicated to his students! He had a great sense of humor and a big heart. My sincere condolences to all of Allen's family.

My condolences to you and your family on the loss of Allen. Memories of Rosewood.
Mr. Suter is a wonderful soul. He was much more that a talented professor, mentor, and coach. You could sense his sincerity and desire to help his students mature. For many of us, Mr. Suter became a model for integrity and character. I am fortunate to have crossed his path.

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Suter and I send my deepest sympathies to the Suter family and friends .
I have so many great memories of my time spent at NOA and Mr. Suter was one of my coaches and one of those special teachers that really tried to teach us about life and learning.
My favorite memory of Coach Suter( our football line coach) is very simple , and I remember it like it was yesterday .Right before almost every football practice started Coach Suter would come and grab me by the shoulder pads, get in my face and try to convince me that I needed to change positions from running back and come and play for him on the line .He said I could open holes a lot better than I could go through them ."Ha, no way coach" I would say and of course, I did not listen but in retrospect he was absolutely right and of course later in life I regretted that decision .He and I would laugh about those times at our NOA reunions.
Coach Suter is in my thoughts and prayers and I will miss him .
My condolences to Steven, Brian, Lauren, Joyce and Mr. Suter's entire family. I have many fond memories of Mr. Suter as my teacher at Kehoe-France and, along with my dad, as my cub scout leader. Like my late father, Mr. Suter was an extremely well-rounded, caring educator who went out of his way to go beyond simply teaching the subject matter. He helped us learn to be responsible citizens and caring people. He will be missed.
Allen was a great teacher and light years ahead of many of his colleagues His positive influence was felt and experienced by all those who new him and were fortunate to have been his students. He inspired leadership morality and a thirst for knowledge in all of us . Rest In Peace our thoughts and prayers are with his family H Craig Cabral
Mr. Suter was one of the greatest influences of my life. As my teacher, coach and mentor he made me a much better man. I’m so glad we had a chance to speak at an NOA reunion. I got to shake his and and hug him. He taught me “Tough Love” when I needed it. He will be with me all through my days.
I live you Mr Suter.
Mr. Suter, as he was known at New Orleans Academy, was a respected teacher and mentor to us Cadets. Initially, many of us were intimidated by his manner, but that soon changed as we realized that he was only motivated to help us grow and strive to become the best version of ourselves, in every way. Mr. Suter's impact helped shape my life in a meaningful way, but not unlike most cases, this was not fully realized until years later when I became a husband and father. I had a few opportunities over the years since I graduated high school to see and speak with him during NOA reunions and a few chance meetings, all of which were special and will always be fondly remembered.
Love you Dad. Steve
