Francis J. Horan

peacefully on April 3, 2018 surrounded by family. Frank was born on May 2, 1938 to Jack and

Winifred Horan. He earned his undergraduate degree from John Jay College and his Master’s

degree from Fordham University. After 20 years as a proud member of the New York City Police

Department, Frank retired as a lieutenant. He then completely changed careers and worked in

hospital administration at various facilities throughout New York City. He finished his career as

a Senior Vice-President for Facilities Real Estate at New York Presbyterian/Cornell Medical Center.

Growing up in the Bronx, Frank worked at Yankee Stadium selling peanuts and ice-cream,

becoming a life-long fan. In the spring, it was the Yankees; in the fall, it was the Giants and

Notre Dame. Frank was an avid sportsman himself - playing tennis at the West Nyack Swim

Club, running the New York City marathon, and biking throughout Rockland. He also enjoyed

history and Irish music.

He married his beloved Patricia (Pat) on August 26, 1961. They were blessed with 56 years of

love, laughter and joy. He is survived by his five devoted children: Kevin (Jennifer), John

(Christine), Maureen (Charles) Hampsey, Christine (Peter) Curtin, and Tricia (Doug) Strey,

fourteen grandchildren, three sisters: Mary Hogan, Eileen Sweeney, and Kathleen Kelly, and

many nieces and nephews.

Frank taught all who knew him what love, kindness, and generosity are. His life was our

blessing.
