HODGDON – Frank R. Wallace, 69, passed away peacefully at his home on Feb. 6, 2014, after a brief battle with cancer. He was born July 10, 1944, at Houlton, the son of George, Sr. and Maxine (DeChane) Wallace.
Frank attended Hodgdon schools and started working in the woods at an early age with his father and several brothers. He enjoyed this type of work and some of his best times were working in the woods alone with a horse named Pat. He worked for several loggers over the years including Clayton Delong and Larry Byron. When he finally decided to leave the woods, Frank went to work for the Town of Hodgdon and was custodian at the Hodgdon Homestead. He enjoyed that work and made many friends there over the years.
Frank was a “homebody” and enjoyed doing wood crafts and tinkering in his shop. He loved playing with his cat “Wallyjack” who he called “Fred”.
