Frank graduated from Woodberry Forest School, spent two and a half years in the Air Force, then came to Princeton in 1945. He majored in economics and belonged to Cap and Gown. Undergraduate activities included the golf team, Varsity Club, Triangle, and the 21 Club. After graduation, he joined the family firm of Highland Yarn Mills, which had been founded by his father. He spent his entire career with the firm, retiring as president.
Frank was very active in the High Point community, serving as a board member of several banks, and was a member of the YMCA, Rotary Club, the Methodist Church, and several golf clubs. He enjoyed hunting, fly-fishing, and collecting antique decoys.
Frank was predeceased by his son, Frank III. He is survived by children Betsy and Anne; five grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and his companion, Inge Van Loan. To them all, we extend our deep condolences.
