Frank Phillip LaRose Jr.

Born in Philadelphia, PA to the late Frank Sr., and Bertha LaRose, he was a longtime area resident. He served his country honorably as a cook in the US Army. While stationed in Germany, he met his wife Josephine. They were married for 33 years until her passing in 1991.

Frank returned home and was employed with Conrail/CSX until his retirement.

In his free time, Frank enjoyed chess, playing bridge, gardening, swimming, cooking, traveling, following the stock market, and Cadillac cars. He was a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan.

Frank was a member of the Edgar Cayce A.R.E. Center and enjoyed metaphysical studies.

Mostly, Frank worked hard to provide well for his family. He generously donated to charities for military veterans, Native Americans, and charities for animals.

Frank's famous quote was, "You don't need to be the smartest guy in the room, only the most informed." He would tell his children, "And tomorrow, I will teach you how to tie your shoes".

Predeceased by his parents; his beloved wife; and his dear friend Arlene Quinn; Frank is survived by his children, Susan LaRose, Linda LaRose, Michael LaRose, Jackie LaRose, and Eric LaRose.

All services for Frank will be private.
