Frank Morrissey, a loving husband, father, and grandfather and friend, died on Tuesday March 21st 2017, at the age of 83 after a long hard courageous battle with Dementia/Alzheimer's.

Somethings most friends may not have known about Frank are: In High School he was on the Golf Team in which he lettered in. He was very proud to share that he caddied for 2 Professional Golfers, Byron Nelson and Marilyn Smith.

Frank enlisted in the Navy at 16 or 17, the story as he told it, was he lied about his age to get in. He spent 4 years as a Harbor Boat Craftsman, shortly after he was honorably discharged. Frank would then chose to reenlist into the Army, because there he could move up in rank faster. Frank then spent another 20 years where he then chose to retire, he wasq honorably discharged as well.

Frank was in 2 wars, The Korean and Vietnam. His travels where far and wide, from Bamberg and Bad Toltz, Germany (where he would meet and marry his Wife), to Saudia Arabia.

Frank was too proud to ever speak of his time or service, but he received many decorations, medals, badges, commendations, citations and campaign ribbons awarded and authorized to him. Listed below are just a few:

Good Conduct Medal

Marks Man – Rifle M-1 / Sharpshooters badge - Rifle M-14

"Some may say Frank was an ornery man with a very colorful vocabulary.

The disease took many things from Frank. But, what it didn't take was his famous wink with a smile!, or his ability to still speak to the very end this one sentence to the pretty ladies: "Hello Sweetie"!

We are Jealous of the Angels, and miss and love him very much.
