Frank was born on November 18, 1940, in Milford, MA, the beloved only child of Francis E. Brady Sr. and Genevieve V. (Dion) Brady. Frank spent his early years residing on Providence Road in Linwood until 1952 when the family moved to Union Street when he was 12 years old.
During his youth, Frank played Little League in Northbridge as the catcher for the Cub's team and played for the All-Star team. He was educated in the Northbridge School System graduating in 1958. After graduation, he enlisted in the US Navy and served two years of active duty, primarily aboard the USS Forrestal CVA-59 Aircraft Carrier as a storekeeper, followed by four years in the Navy reserves.
In 1964, Frank graduated from the New England School of Accounting and married the love of his life Eugenie M. Choquette on July 4th of the same year. Together, they raised three children: Julie A. Davieau and her husband Denis; Paul M. Brady and his wife Maria; and Caryn D. Gagner and her husband Alfred. He was also a loving grandfather to Jeffrey, Tiffany, Kyle, Brady, Victoria, Lindsey, Alexandria, Alex, Alfred, Christopher, and great-grandchildren Zoey, Marc, Alexandro, and Hendrix.
Throughout his career, Frank worked at various places, including Kupfer Brothers, Riverdale, MA, Pythian Bowling Alley, Whitinsville, MA and Prudential Insurance Company of America, Shrewsbury, MA. He eventually purchased Lakeway Liquors, Mendon, MA, where he worked until his retirement in 2005.
Frank was passionate about RVing with his family, boating, bowling, traveling, New England sports teams, and spending quality time with his loved ones. He will be remembered for his dedication to his family, hard work, and love for life.
