Frank Jones Obituary

September 23, 1944 - August 19, 2022 Born in Youngstown, OH Frank studied art history at Washington and Lee University. In Pittsburgh in the '60s and '70s, he worked as a technician on the set of Mr. Rogers at WQED; was a founding member of The New Pittsburgh Film Group, which exhibited experimental films; and at the Carnegie Museum of Art, documenting lectures of visiting artists.

Graduating at the top of his class at the graduate school of Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh, Frank moved to MA, where he became a software engineer at Digital Equipment Corporation, bringing home early PCs for his kids to play with.

Frank also advocated for public access to cable TV at Pittsburgh City Hall and low-income housing for seniors in Los Angeles.

A proud father and grandfather, Frank is survived by his son (Benjamin), daughter (Susanna) and granddaughter (Miroslava).

Donations may be made in Frank's honor to Carnegie Museum of Art.
