IN MEMORY
Frank died on Nov. 10, 2023, near his condo in Ossining, N.Y., in Westchester County, just north of NYC.
He came to Amherst from Brookline, Mass.; participated for a year or so in football, swimming and wrestling; and majored in math. After Amherst, he studied actuarial science and became an actuary with New York Life Insurance Co. By chance, some six years ago I met a retired chief actuary at New York Life who knew Frank well, working with him for many years; he commented that Frank was excellent in his actuarial work. Frank and his wife, Jeanne, who were married for 67 years until her passing, were avid birders, traveling frequently from their White Plains, N.Y., home to Jamaica Bay, just behind JFK airport, to see migrating birds, and then, in later years, to the Long Island Sound, closer to their home, for similar viewing. Their two children never took up the activity but would report as best they could on what they had chanced to see, flying by.
In retirement, Frank organized and, for a time, was president of a men’s professional group known as “The Old Guard of Westchester,” which met monthly for lunch, to hear a speaker and to settle world affairs.
Frank is survived by his children, Stephen (Sharon) and Karen; his grandchildren, Lauren (Arthur) and Naomi; brother-in-law Ed; nieces Liz (Steve) and Suzy (Dave); and grandnieces and grandnephews Emily, Ryan, Abigail, Kyle and Lucy.
