Personal History: |
During the war, Frank dated Peggy Doyle;
they were unofficially engaged. However, sometime after the
war's end, they broke up. After graduation from CCNY in 1948, Frank joined General Electric in Lynn, MA in early 1949. While working in Lynn, he met Leona D. Martel in 1952. Leona and Frank married on 10/17/1953; their children are:
In 1956, Leona and Frank moved to Schenectady NY (GE
Headquarters); first living at a rental in Schenectady,
then having a house built at 11 Bellaire Dr in Scotia. Leona was diagnosed with lung cancer in early 1969, and
died of the disease on 04/23/1969. In 1971, Frank met Anna T. LeLievre (née Kleczek); they
married on 06/26/1971. Anna's children from her first
marriage are:
Anna and Frank moved to 23 Ashley Drive in Clifton Park
in 1971; their respective homes were too small to contain
the entire family. Frank retired from GE in 1987, and devoted his time to
working on a book as co-author with two other co-workers
from GE. The book, Industrial
Power Systems Grounding Design Handbook, was
published in 2007. In 2011, Frank was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He
died on February 15, 2014. |
