Frank E. Pitcher

I am so sorry to learn, at this late date, of Frank's passing and I send my sincerest condolences, to the entire Pitcher family. Frank's Mom was my 4th grade teacher back at the Archer Street School in Freeport, NY and then he and I ended up together at UTC when I arrived there in 1976. I worked for Frank for the last 8 years before our mutual retirement in 1992. Frank saw me through some very trying times in my life and I will be eternally grateful to him for his standing by me during those...

Frank was always such a wonderful patient to work with. He was especially interesting to talk with about Freeport and was generous enough to bring in his Voyager yearbook for my father to look at. It was a pleasure to see my Dad walk down memory lane and remember old classmates even though he could not remember my name. Frank will always be special in my heart for that joy he gave my father who died a month ago. Thank you, Frank.

My Dearest Pitcher Family,
There are not enough words to express my sadness and loss at the passing of Pappy. I have been honored to have been part of the gang since my college years with Kim and Paul. Pappy tried so hard to get me to water ski over the summers. I can Alpine Ski but the water part eluded me. You are always in my thoughts and prayers for I love you all!
Love,
Anne-Marie(ok,only for Pappy-Love, PK)

We were so sorry to hear about your great loss. Our thoughts are with you all~

My sincere condolences to the entire Pitcher family. I had the pleasure of growing up with Frank as my next door neighbor and some of my fondest childhood memories are of fishing and water skiing in Maine with Frank and the the Pitcher gang. I also always smile when I remember Frank goading my dad (Jack Kelleher) every weekend into a game of pig, a round of golf, a tennis match... it really didn't matter he was just a big kid who always wanted to play! Frank seemed to find a way to enjoy...

Our sympathy and prayers are with Frank's family. Frank was a wonderful friend for many years and we will miss him.
Joe and Erika Coughlan

My sincere condolences to all the Pitcher family. I worked for Frank in the Sikorsky Aircraft Legal Dept. and he was the best (even though he insisted I become a U.S. citizen)! My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I worked for Frank for six years at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft in the 70's. He was the best "boss" I had in my 40 years at UTC. He always made me laugh.

I would love to share a story with you about Exhibit A of the JT9D Agreement. It was probably the only time I saw Frank drain white. My email address is [email protected]. It's halarious.

Knowing Frank was just wonderful. He touched the lives of so many of us. My...
