Frank Lamar Pyle ’42

Body

FRANK DIED Sept. 9, 1993, in Dallas of complications involving emphysema and osteoporosis. After a 35year career with Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., he had retired to become general sales manager for Beltone Electronics Co. in Ft. Worth.

Coming to Princeton from Lawrenceville, Frank majored in classics and was a member of Tower. He served for nearly four years in the army field artillery in the C.B.I. theater during WWII as a first lieutenant, and received four battle stars. He was recalled for two years during the Korean War.

Although Frank was a devoted family man, he still found time for deer hunting, the Kiwanis Club, and for guiding young people through Junior Achieveinerit. To his widow, Evalyn; his sons, Scott and William; his daughters, Ellen and Linda; and his seven grandchildren, the class extends its most profound sympathies.
