Frank was a Carpenter, and was a member of Carpenters Local 1856 for over 70 years. Carpentry was not only his work, but it was also his calling. It started with him being awarded Top Graduate from International Apprentice School in 1957 and continued through his life as a way to help others. He was a sponsor to many carpenters to set them on a path for their career and was President of Local 1856 and the Carpenter Retirees.

His Catholic faith was important to him and he was very involved with Our Lady of Calvary church, being their unofficial carpenter on call. Frank and Jean were dog lovers and avid sports fans. They had both Phillies and Eagles season tickets for years. They also loved to bowl and they bowled in leagues together for 40 plus years. What most people will remember him for is his sense of humor. He had an arsenal of jokes that you could count on coming your way and of course we would be remiss if we did not mention Frank’s favorite pet Mongoose!

With all of his accomplishments, his greatest love and pride was for his family. Frank was married to Jean S. (nee Griffiths) for 65 devoted years at the time of her passing. He was an amazing father to Nancy J. Kravetz (John), Frank X. ‘Bud’ (Karen), Jean M. MacLeod (Earl Arena) and Rick (Sally). Brother of the late Bernie, Bud, Don, and Mary.
