Franklin F. Trunkey ’26

FRANK TRUNKEY, former business and civic leader of Spokane, Wash., died Nov. 5, 1990, in Alhambra, Calif., where he had lived the last two years, an Alzheimer victim. Frank will be remembered from undergraduate days as a close friend of Ralph Martin and Lee Eastman, his roommates. After graduation, Frank began his business career in Spokane in the wholesale grocery firm founded by his father and was president of McClintock Trunkey Co., when it was sold in 1953.

Frank was active in business and civic groups. He gave time and energy to the United Crusade, of which he was chairman in 1957, and as a member of the boards of public bodies including the Spokane Red Cross, the Chamber of Commerce, St. Lukes Hospital, and Fort Wright College.

In 1933 Frank married Dorothy McAtee, who died in 1972. He later married Rose B. O'Larey, who predeceased him in 1987. Our sympathy is extended to Frank's sons, Dr. F.M. Trunkey and David Trunkey; daughter Gloria (Mrs. Lyman W. Newton); adopted daughter Janet (Mrs. Philip W. Leigh); sister Elizabeth Kucher; and several grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
