Frank M. Fameli, age 74, died: August 1st, 2006 in Flagstaff, AZ. Frank's passing came after a very brief battle with cancerous lung and brain tumors. Born in Daphne Alabama, Frank spent most of his childhood in Brockton, Massachusetts.



He was a decorated Drill Sergeant of the United States Air Force and veteran of the Korean war. After serving his country he owned his own successful television repair business in Cape Cod. Frank also served as a Director of Security for Pinkerton Security and Cape Cod Community College. After moving to Arizona in 1974 he served as the Director of Safety & Security at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. Time would find all his children off on there own and he and his wife Pat in Camp Verde, AZ. Frank was a devoted believer in Jesus Christ and an influential leader at Camp Verde's Calvary Chapel. Frank was responsible for developing an effective ministry called "The God Squad" that served the needy in the community by performing any task from yard work and minor auto maintenance to major home repair. In 2005 Frank and Pat moved to Flagstaff where he became a member of Calvary Chapel, Flagstaff. Among Frank's many joys were his family, coin collecting, camping, fishing and exploring with his metal detector. Frank was a extreme baseball fan and rarely missed a Diamondback's game.

A memorial service will be held at Calvary Chapel of Flagstaff on Saturday, August 12th at 7:00 pm. All are welcome.
