DONALD EDMUND FROUDE

FROUDE, Donald Edmund Age 65, of East Dennis, MA, passed away on February 16, 2021 after a long illness. Born on January 3, 1956, Don was the son of the late Donald and Beverly Froude. He graduated from Mater Dei Prep in Middletown, NJ where he was an outstanding athlete, particularly on the football field where he was elected as co-captain in his senior year. Don received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA graduating in 1978. Don worked in the financial services industry for 37 years. He began his career as an advisor at Bache Halsey Stuart before moving on to Alex. Brown & Sons where he served in multiple leadership roles, culminating in his position as a partner and co-head of the Private Client Business. Following his tenure at Alex. Brown, he served as President & CEO of Quick & Reilly until 2006 when he moved into the role of President at Columbia Management Distributors. He joined Legg Mason in 2008 as the Head of US Distribution before serving in his final role at Ameriprise Financial as a member of the Executive Leadership Team and President of the Personal Advisors Group. Don retired from Ameriprise in 2015. He was the loving father of his daughter, Cameron Froude, and son-in-law, Salman Saghafi of San Francisco, CA and his son, Andrew, daughter-in-law, Kelly, grandson, Jack, and granddaughter, Alice Froude of New York, NY. Don is survived by his former wife and Cameron and Andrew's mother, Nancy Kiely Fermano of Winchester, MA; former wife, Kimberly Froude of Palm Beach, FL; sister, Melissa and brother-in-law, Mark Moulaison of Yarmouth Port, MA; nephew, Kyle Moulaison of Boxborough, MA and niece, Lesley and her husband Darren Costa of Palmer, MA as well as numerous close friends who spent time with him in his last years. He loved living by the water at his home on Cape Cod, cheering on his beloved New York Yankees with his English Bulldog in his lap. Never one to shy away from a good time, Don loved cooking (and eating) delicious food, time spent on his boat, hosting his friends and family, late nights playing music and singing songs on the porch and generally getting into just the right amount of trouble. His warm spirit, generosity and unbridled enthusiasm will be missed by all who knew and loved him. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, February 24th 2021 at 11a.m. at Our Lady of the Cape, 468 Stony Brook Road, Brewster, MA 02631. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made in his memory to Dream Day on Cape Cod, 165 Nan-Ke-Rafe Path Brewster, MA 02631, dreamdayoncapecod.org.
