“Frank Rich was a rugged strong man. He was working on his boat and there was no one around to help him hoist the engine out, so he did it himself. A blood vessel burst in his brain and killed him.” - Allen Parsons, Sr.

Frank left two sons,
John Rich (1913-2007) and
Harold Rich (1915-2006)

"Both sons made careers in the U. S. Navy and were present December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor.
Their mother, whom I knew as Aunt Ethel, never remarried She lived at 7 Bernard Rd., Map 16, #9, next door to the house of my grandparents, Clifton & Elizabeth (Farnsworth) Rich, 280 Tremont Rd., Map 16 #10 in Bernard. My grandfather, Cliff Rich,1881-1970 was Frank’s older brother." - Meredith Hutchins
