The Malden Historical Society is saddened to announce the passing of our longtime colleague on April 29, 2021. Frank was a native Maldonian whose love for this city was always evident.

Frank graduated from Malden High School and earned a Bachelor of Arts in History at U.Mass. (Amherst) and a J.D. from Suffolk University.

Frank was a member of the Society for over 30 years serving in several capacities – president, treasurer, director. During his tenure he served on most of the Society Committees especially the Publication Committee and Collections Committee. He was most happy when discovering bits of history long forgotten. His indomitable perseverance and knack for doing research was legendary. This was exemplified in his latest history of Malden, as well as in Society “Register” publications, Malden Images, Malden Postcards, a Maplewood history, property research done for the Malden Historical Commission and his articles in the Newsletter of the Society (Sandy Bank Sentinel).

Frank enjoyed giving lectures and tours about Malden; his cemetery tours were always a highlight of the year. Frank was an avid viewer of e-bay always looking for Malden items for his own collection and that of the Society. He always found something interesting to bring and discuss at the yearly “Show and Tell” meeting.

Besides being a historian Frank was very active in the city. He had a law practice in Malden for many years and served in the City Solicitor offices of both Malden and Somerville. He served on the Mayor’s Housing Task Force (Malden) and on the Board of Directors of the Monsignor Neagle Apartments and the Malden Chamber of Commerce.

He is survived by his children, Madison and Ned; his mother Denise; and sister Leanne and her family.
