Frank was known to spend time listening to music, watching Monty Python, relaxing with his dog Prince, cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles and providing feedback on the latest political happenings.

Most importantly, Frank was an amazing father and Pop Pop. He loved sharing time with his family and treasured their time together. He taught his children and grandchildren that God and family come first.

Davis, USAF of Oak Hill, VA; grandchildren, Gage & Reese Downing, Summer DeVere and Scarlett Lapham, and brothers, Kirk DeVere of Lancaster, and Clark DeVere of Mechanicsburg.

I am sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. He and I grew up together and were the same age. Our parents were friends. In fact, my nick-name came from him! My condolences to Clifford, Uschi, Kirk, Clark, Frank’s children and grandchildren, and his friends and co-workers. I will always remember Frank as a shy and gentle soul. May he now rest in eternal happiness and peace.
