Frank Joseph Lahey

The boat photo captures his spirit perfectly. Professor Lahey generously shared his time and talent with so many students, even providing much needed night classes for those of us who worked during the day. He and Carol also hosted delicious and fun dinners on several occasions. He is missed.

Deep condolences to Carol. We are deeply saddened by the departure of dear friend Frank Lahey. Both Carol and Frank had been our dear friends during our stay in Connecticut. Frank was a not only a friend, colleague, but was someone I used to interact on a regular basis. He was one of the best design engineers I had known. He had a knack of making Mechanical Engineering look simple and interesting. Frank's memory will live in our minds for ever.

Dr. Frank Lahey was an outstanding professor, friend, and mentor to me. If not for him I would not be the engineer I am today. During my senior year at the University of Hartford, he introduced me as an engineer with potential to a local consulting firm resulting in a summer internship that led to full time employment upon graduation. Dr. Lahey was an inspiration to me, always offering encouragement and positive reinforcement when I wasn't so sure of my potential as an engineer. He always had a way of breaking down the most complex problems with easy to grasp principles and formulas. Although I only knew Dr. Lahey for a relatively short amount of time, he had a profound effect on the entire course of my life. I am a better person for having known him.

My deepest sympathy to Carol and David on the passing of Frank Lahey, husband and father.
I have fond memories of visits to his home with my late husband, Warren. Frank and he enjoyed long, spirited conversations on classical music which included their never ending goal to produce the best sound possible from Frank´s sound system.
Frank often spoke of his love of teaching and the joy he felt being with his students, He enjoyed sailing. He enjoyed good food and wines, He enjoyed life!!,

Frank was a good a professor as any student could ever want. Very personable, friendly, along with technically challenging, he had style of teaching that led students to really understand the problems as well as the solutions. I use his methods regularly and have been for the past, Wow! nearly 50 years. I became life long friends with he and his wonderful wife, Carol as truly one of the warmest and most interesting couples Ive ever met. I will truly miss Frank.
