Frank Mossman Obituary
FRANK ROBERTS MOSSMAN
December 25, 1938 ˜ July 21, 2024
Frank Roberts Mossman passed away July 21, 2024, at the age of 85 in Vancouver, WA. Born Dec. 25, 1938, Frank, also affectionately known as “Rocky” and “Doc Rock,” dedicated his life to his family, his community, and his passions.
Frank graduated from Evergreen High School and later earned his degree from Pacific University, becoming a respected optometrist. Beyond his professional life, he served in the National Guard, embracing the discipline and camaraderie that came with military service.
A man of many hobbies, Frank was a lifetime enthusiast of hot rods and custom cars, actively participating in the Slo Poks Car Club. His love for RC airplanes saw him deeply involved in the Clark County RC Club, flying at the fairgrounds. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed fishing, clamming, and mushroom hunting. Frank also had a knack for building and fixing things, constructing homes and cabins for his family.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Jennifer L. Mossman (Herbster); his son, Christopher Mossman; and sister, Laurian Brown. Frank’s life will be celebrated Wednesday, Aug. 21, from 3-7 p.m. at 13941 NE Salmon Creek Ave., Vancouver, WA.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of your choice in memory of Frank, honoring his generous spirit and enduring impact on those around him.

Frank and I were next door neighbors and good friends when our parents lived on Florence Blvd In Omaha, Nebraska. We were both born in 1938 and shared many interests in our youth. As an example when we were about 10 years of age we built a small house in his backyard using a pile of scrap lumber. I note that in the later years Frank developed an interest in cars. I also developed a similar interest in cars including drag racing and restoring antique cars. When Frank's family moved to Oregon, my family moved to Fargo, North Dakota.
I am sorry to learn of Frank's passing and regret that we did not have an opportunity for a more recent connection.
