"Pappy" Frankenfield Honored For 65 Years as a Firefighter

In a room full of volunteer firefighters, Bethlehem Tp Commissioners paid homage on April 16 to the late Curtis "Pappy" Frankenfield, who passed away on April 2 at age 89. According to the resolution honoring him, he "served with great passion as a volunteer fireman for 65 years." Forty-one of those years was with The Bethlehem Tp Volunteer Fore Co. Station No. 17.  He also served as Chief from 1989-1991.

"[H]is passing leaves a huge void in our hearts and our organization, and he will be missed," said Kevin Kalman, one of his fellow firefighters.

Frankenfield was also posthumously honored with a citation from the Pennsylvania Senate.
