Frank was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Clara Wilma Conway; and son, Barry Dale Conway.
He is survived by his daughters, Debra Cole, and Belinda Gail DiLucchio; son, Larry Conway; granddaughters, Crystal Holiday, Melodie Hall, and Melinda Cole; great grandchildren, Zella Castaneda and Zachary Hall.
The family would like to thank their caregiver, Lavelle Thomas, who was a godsend to their dad. Every day, when she showed up, he had a sparkle in his eyes. Thank you, Lavelle. She will always be remembered as part of the family.
Visitation was held in the parlor at Frederick-Dean Funeral Home on Dec. 28, 2020, with a graveside service following at Rosemere Cemetery.
