"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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
