Franklin V. Myers, 90, of Clearwater, Florida, passed away on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at the Brookside Hospice House in Palm Harbor, Florida.
He was born in Lehighton, Pennsylvania on September 17, 1920, the son of the late Amzie and Mamie Eck Myers. He attended local schools and later enlisted in the US Army where he served with distinction in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Following his military career, Frank moved to Clearwater in 1947 and was an original employee of Douglas Manufacturing. He later owned West Coast Awning and continued his working career in the aluminum products arena. After he retired, Frank worked for Gulf Coast Aluminum and Axcess Mail.. He had made his home in Clearwater, and his former residence on Gulf to Bay Boulevard was later the first home of Veterans Funeral Care. It was always a special day when he and his wife, Estella, would stop by for a visit and sit with us on the front porch.
He is survived by his daughter, Nancy L. Du Verger, of Clearwater; a grandaughter, Jennifer George; and several nieces and nephews.
Services with military honors are scheduled for Thursday, December 16, 2010 at Bay Pines National Cemetery where he will be placed next to Estella who passed in 2006. Donations may be made to Suncoast Hospice, 5771 Roosevelt Blvd., Clearwatre, FL 33760 in his memory.
Our condolences,Your Dad was a great man,He will be in peace with Estella, Our thoughts are with you.
For the ten years that I knew my father-in-law, Frank treated me as a son that he never had. I mourn his passing and realize now that he would have been a great father and teacher. I did care for this man dearly, and will miss him til I return home to the Lord. My condolences to his grand daughter Jennifer…May he rest in peace.
Unfortunately, I only had the pleasure of knowing Frank and his family since March,2010. But during this time, we had great times together, he was a wonderful person and a great friend. He will be missed by all.
I just looked at an old picture Mr. Myers gave to me (the old home on Gulf to Bay) he was always so funny when he came in to see us, our staff would just smile….. May God bless your family. They were a cute couple, and now we have said good-bye to both of them.
I am so sorry to hear of Framk’s passing. I worked with him for 10 years at Gulf Aluminum and had many visits at his home with he and his wife Estella. Though we lost touch when I move to Phoenix, i always kept him in my thoughts and prayers. God bless Frank and Estelle and my heart felt sympathy goes out to his family.
