Frank J Foremny, Jr.
Member of Goshen High School class of 1961. Wearer of 'Blue Corduroy" in "Dusty" Sloan's Ag Classes.*
Dairy farmer, contractor and businessman. A baseball fan, ( he had inherited that DNA, from his father) par excel lance. Collector of memorabilia from the Shoeless Joe Jackson
and Bucketfoot Al Simmons** era. An inventor (a safer football helmet). A runner. Collector of native American artifacts. He was the Key ID-person for the Drowned Lands Historical Society.
Friendly and always ready to mentor the younger generation. Great sense of humor! He didn't complain, he dealt with setbacks. Loved his family!
One Frank anecdote:
When he awoke the night that he had his second stroke. he made three telephone calls.
The first to call a taxi, knowing it would arrive more quickly than the volunteer ambulance. (And if truth be known, not to alarm the across the street neighbors with lights, sirens and an ambulance)
The second to his friend to come and retrieve his dog, the plan had been to drop it off later that morning on his way to the airport,
And the third to the airline to cancel his flight as he was scheduled to fly out to the mid-West to attend a convention on Indian artifacts.
He then went out and sat in a chair outside on the porch to wait for the taxi to take him to the hospital.
Frank had his priorities straight.
He will be sorely missed by all that knew him!
*Proud member of the FFA.
