Terence Robert Frank

Obituary Terence "Terry" Frank, 65, passed away on August 17, 2019 at home. Terry spent his life on the water and enjoyed many days sailing, fishing, scuba diving, and motoring on his beloved Bertram 31. He had a passion for WWII history and visited many historically significant places during his travels. He enjoyed spending time with those he loved and relished his role hosting Sunday family dinners. He welcomed friends as part of his extended family and was always generous with Dewars, red wine, and his dry sense of humor. After relocating his business, the Frank Door Company, to Carteret County from New York in 2000, Terry became increasingly involved in the community devoting countless hours to long-range planning, economic development, workforce development, and education. He was a Carteret County Commissioner and served on multiple boards including the Carteret County ABC, the Carteret Community College Trustees, Carteret Health Care, and First Citizens Bank. He also took a special interest in supporting Emergency Management Services due to his experience as a volunteer firefighter. He is survived by his wife, Maryanne; his children, Jennifer (Greg) Alexander, Christopher (Carly) Frank, and Kathryn (Collins) Walston; and his five grandchildren he never thought he would have the opportunity to meet: Owen, Carter, Madelyn, Abigail, and Emily. He is also survived by his leg-breaking dog, Roxy, who was always by his side at mealtimes.
