He was raised in New Brunswick, Canada and spent a short time in Gardner, MA prior to settling in Maynard where he has spent the past 54 plus years. Frank was one of 18 children and always valued keeping in touch with his siblings. A faithful parishioner of St. Bridget’s Parish in Maynard, he enjoyed activities and events at the Maynard Senior Center along with his wife Jeannette. He was a member of the French Club in Gardner, member of the Maynard Elks and Maynard VFW. He was a proud Veteran serving during the Korean War until honorably discharged in 1952. He was employed by the former T.R.W. Company for many years as a warehouse clerk in Waltham and Burlington until retiring at the age of 60.
He is survived by his children Michelle King and husband Frank of Maynard, Jacqueline Armagost and partner Michael Donahue of Hudson, NH, and Michael Bourgeois and wife Kimberly of Sterling; 6 grandchildren, Amy Pearce and husband Mark, Kelly Patterson and husband Frank, Timothy King and wife Jen Sobuta, Katlyn Seaver and husband Eric, Gerald Bourgeois, Natalie Bourgeois along with his 6 great-grandsons, Kaleb, Cameron, Corey and Kyle Pearce and Clayton and Oaken Patterson. In addition to his wife and parents he was predeceased by his son-in-law Dale Armagost.
Frank will be fondly remembered as a kind and outgoing man. He was an avid fisherman and always looked forward to fishing at Walden Pond. He cherished his family and spending time with them, especially with his grand and great grandchildren who in the latter part of his life became his passion. He will truly be missed by all who loved and knew him.
