Frank Solomon Obituary
In 1959 Frank married Mary Stevens Solomon and moved to Marin County, California the following year, where they raised three children together. Settling in Marinwood in 1961, which he would call home for the rest of his life, Frank was active for years in the Marinwood civic community. Frank was a publicly elected member of the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District Board, serving for 28 years, and served on the Marinwood Community Services District Board during the years that saw the establishment of the Marinwood Community Center, pool and Fire Department.
Frank will be remembered for his sharp mind, infectious laugh and kind heart. He was fair-minded and always eager to help those in need. He was a man of his word and strove to do business deals that would meet the needs of all parties involved, not just himself.
Frank was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Mary Stevens Solomon in 2014, and by their daughter Cindy in 1977, as well as his older brother and sister, Henry Solomon of Chevy Chase, MD, and Betty Birren of Pacific Palisades, CA.
Frank is survived by his loving wife Sharon Ann (Sava) Solomon; sons Richard A. and Frank E. Solomon; daughters-in-law Susan Solomon and Dorothy Louise Vickroy; grandson Lucas Solomon and granddaughter Cristina Solomon. A Celebration of Frank's life will take place on Friday, April 12 at 1:00 pm at Temple Rodef Shalom, 170 North San Pedro Road, San Rafael, CA 94903. In lieu of flowers please make contributions in Frank's name to The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society.

My dad, Kendall Hobbs, was a fellow New Englander good friend of Frank and Mary Solomon's for many years. He admired the sharp minds they both possessed, and supported Frank in his run for judge many years ago. I remember my dad saying, "Solomon for judge! How could he lose?" Well, lose he did, and I remember "Solomon for Judge" lawn signs in our garage for many years afterwards.
For a number of years, Mary served as my dad's part-time legal secretary. He appreciated her careful stewardship of resources in the office (New England thrift), but, as one who was constantly misplacing things, he admired one quality above all: "Mary Solomon can find anything!"
Frank was very generous to our family. In addition to treating my parents to many memorable meals out, he provided financial assistance to my brother when he needed it, and even left my widowed mother some money in his will.
Thank you, Frank, for the friendship and generosity you showed my family for so many years.
