Frank passed away suddenly last Wednesday, April 12. He is survived by his daughter, Lindsay and her two sons.
At the time of his death, he was a self-employed welder and resided in Cave Creek, AZ, which is a suburb of Phoenix. He had served in the US Marines and spent a year in Viet Nam.
When I spoke to Lindsay, she told me that he must have been planning to attend the reunion because he had made notes detailing what he had done since graduating from River Dell.

I wrote back to Barbara and ask for some more information and Barbara sent this to.
Frank was not sick - it appears that perhaps an aneurism may have hit his heart and he died suddenly. He was working at the time and had just completed a job. He was single, and has one daughter, Lindsay. He also has two grandsons. He was an avid outdoorsman, and owned several horses. Frequently, he would take a weekend trip on his horse and explore the countryside. He kept his horses behind his house in Cave Creek. A funny side note is that he had a pig, "Oscar" who roamed the house when he was little. When he got bigger/older - you guessed it, Oscar became dinner! One night I called him and asked how Oscar was, and
was informed that he had been last Sunday's dinner! I have left a message for Lindsay and asked for any additional information about her Dad, and when I speak with her, I will share additional information
