Thomas P. Frank ’73

Body

Tom died March 14, 2024, at home in Spokane, Wash.

He was born in Scarsdale, N.Y., and attended Edgemont High School, where he played football and basketball, wrote for the school newspaper, was a member of the Latin Club, and played saxophone in the school band. Tom matriculated at Princeton as had his father before him, David Frank ’45.

Tom dined at Tower Club and was active in Theatre Intime. In 1972, he decided to take time off, and left Princeton. He returned in 1978 and graduated with an A.B. in anthropology in 1981. He later chose to return to his Class of ’73 affiliation.

We regret that at this point in time we lost track of Tom. It is only when one of his siblings posted on Facebook that we learned of his death. The class sends sympathy to Tom’s sisters, Wendy Lynn Munson, Mary Elise McKenzie, and Amy Chase Porter.
