Frank J. Cosentino ’56

Frank died Aug. 9, 2005, at home in Princeton, after a brief battle with multiple myeloma.

At Tappan Zee High School, he was president of the student body, valedictorian, and was selected for all-county teams in football, basketball, and baseball in his junior and senior years.

After majoring in geology at Princeton, he served two years with the Army Judge Advocate General's Corps in Germany. In 1959, he joined Edward Marshall Boehm in Trenton, N.J., eventually becoming president of the porcelain company and its subsidiaries. During his 33-year career at Boehm, he traveled and lectured extensively and authored three books, including a biography of Edward Marshall Boehm.

Frank's great love was golf. Junior golf champion in five New York counties, he was captain of the Princeton Golf Team his senior year, losing only one match in four years.

Many classmates attended his memorial service at Springdale Golf Club Sept. 11, where Royce Flippin recalled Frank's special place on the football teams from freshman to senior years, and his great good nature and enthusiasm for life.

The class extends deepest sympathy to his wife of 11 years, Nancy Holmes Cosentino; his daughter, Laura; and two stepdaughters, Regan Hofmann and Tracy Hofmann Rosen.
