Obituary
Born July 29, 1923 in Philadelphia, Frank died peacefully on May 12, 2020 at Lafayette Redeemer… Later, he went to work as a rate analyst for the Pennsylvania Railroad during the heyday of rail travel in the U.S., working tirelessly for four decades before retiring. Even then he continued to expend his energy through community service, always eager to assist in his easygoing and compassionate manner… Known for his incredible memory, he impressed everyone with his ability to recall faces, names, historical events, and places he’d visited throughout his life. A master conversationalist, he could wax poetic on a seemingly endless number of topics. “Sharp as a tack,” people used to say, up until the very end.
Published in Bucks County Courier Times
“Frank was an amazing boss and colleague, he had a Vast knowledge of the RR and was Always willing to help us “new” employees. “
