to the gym almost every day, participated in retirement community activities, e-mailed friends, and traded stocks online. A gas company executive, he founded Countrywide Gas Corp., in Westchester County, N.Y., in 1946. After the company was bought out, he changed careers and was appointed a director of Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, N.Y., in 1965, later becoming its vice president. He retired in 1995 and moved to Jacksonville. Active in Yale alumni affairs, he chaired several class reunions and was elected secretary for his class of 1932, a position he held until his death. He also was appointed an associate fellow of Yale’s Berkeley College. At the outbreak of World War II, Mr. Frank volunteered for the Army Air Corps Officer Training School and was stationed at Hickam Field in Hawaii. He rose to the rank of major on the staff of the U.S. Army Strategic Air Force while stationed in Guam and was awarded the Bronze Star. In his later life, he enjoyed writing poetry and letters to the editor of the Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville—so many letters that he had them published in two booklets. In the winter 2013 issue of Andover, Dan Adler ’05, one of Mr. Frank’s newest friends, wrote about him in Tales Out of School. Mr. Frank is survived by his daughter, Molly Ball; four grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. His son, Timothy ’56, predeceased him in 1975.
