It is with deep sorrow that the Malden Historical Society mourns the loss of our esteemed colleague, Frank, who passed away on April 29, 2021. A proud native of Malden, Frank's profound affection for our city resonated in all he did.
Frank was a Malden High School alumnus who pursued his passion for history, earning a Bachelor of Arts from U.Mass. (Amherst) and a J.D. from Suffolk University. For over 30 years, he dedicated himself to the Society, serving in various roles including president, treasurer, and director. His contributions were invaluable, notably in his involvement with the Publication and Collections Committees, where his relentless pursuit of forgotten history was legendary.
Frank's enthusiasm extended beyond the Society; he delighted in sharing Malden's stories through lectures and tours, including his renowned cemetery tours. An avid collector, he scoured e-bay for Malden memorabilia, enriching both his personal collection and the Society's archives.
Beyond his historical pursuits, Frank was deeply involved in civic life, practicing law in Malden and serving in key roles within city governance and community organizations.
Frank is survived by his children, Madison and Ned, his mother Denise, and his sister Leanne, along with her family. His legacy of dedication and passion for Malden will forever endure in our hearts and memories.
