Frank Kelley, 79, a former Boothbay area businessman, died unexpectedly Jan. 20, 2019.

He was born in Maine and never lost his love for being a “Maniac.”

Born Nov. 28, 1939, to Gerald and Louise Kelley, he is survived by his wife, Sylvia, and son, Sean.

Frank loved being busy, whether riding his bike, working in his shop, walking, or enjoying conversation with friends or strangers.

He graduated from the University of Maine, receiving both his bachelor and MBA degrees. After college he served in the Air Force, worked for General Electric and began a final career in the hospitality business with his wife. Frank will be remembered for his zest for life and his caring for all people.

He was predeceased by his parents and three sisters.

A celebration of Frank’s life will be held in early April in Key West, Florida.
