DUGGAN, Frank

Frank went to his Heavenly Home on Sunday, July 25, 2010, in Sacramento, at 67 years of age. Our beloved Frank was born on June 22, 1943, a native-born ''Sacramentan''. He is survived by his loving wife, Gaye, together in marriage for 44 years; his daughter, Melissa; son-in-law, Jeff Wagnon; granddaughter Sydney Ann; sisters, Barbara Ann Landucci (Roger), The Honorable Alice Duggan Sullivan (Joe), Barbara Dee (Charley); brothers, Robert Duggan (Heather), Jim Duggan; and many nieces and nephews.

Frank was born in Sacramento and was raised in Woodland where he graduated from Woodland High School. Frank attended American River College for two years and transferred to Sacramento State University where he received his Degree. After graduating, Frank served in the National Guard for two years. He received his CPA license and went on to become partner of his own firm. Frank's passion was baseball and he played the game whenever the opportunity came to him. While at American River College and at Sacramento State, he played on the baseball team, as well as playing on a small private league team. However, the greatest joy in his life was coaching his daughter Melissa in softball which he did until she entered high school. Frank was also an avid San Francisco 49er fan and he would dress in all the ''49er gear'' whenever they played. Golf was his other passion and he especially enjoyed playing the courses at the Wailea Country Club while in Maui. Frank was a member of the Arden Arcade Rotary for 25 years. During his service as a Rotarian, Frank served as a volunteer cook at Loaves and Fishes, as well as giving of his time to volunteer as a Bar Manager at the Sacramento Jazz Festival for twenty years.

Frank was a proud man with enormous dignity, integrity, humility, a man of true character with a wonderful sense of humor, a warm smile, a great laugh and a true friend for life. Frank was a quiet man, but when he spoke, everyone listened. He will be remembered with love and will be forever missed.
