Frank Hoadley

Frank was the first City Manager for whom I worked; he gave me my first city management career opportunity, for which I am grateful. Frank taught me so much about the standards to which city management professionals should adhere, the correct relationship between elected and appointed municipal officials, and a world of knowledge about municipal finance. I will never forget him.

I remember Frank as a mentor when I sat on the GFOA Debt Committee as a new Debt Manager. He was so helpful to me and I remember him with affection.

It was just a yesterday ago - June 5, 2022, to be exact - after a very happy day touring West Point, when Frank sat in front of me here in my Cornwall, NY, apartment and recalled his early, happy memories of Wyoming, his work for the state of Wisconsin, his eager anticipation of summer travels back to Wyoming and forthcoming celebrations with his much loved Elizabeth in Scotland. As sad as we are to have lost the physical presence of this treasure, immeasurably more abides.
