FRANKFORT: Frank C. LaPuma, 73, a lifelong Frankfort resident, entered into eternal rest on Monday, October 28, 2013 at St. Elizabeth Medical Center with the love and support of his family at his side. Born in Ilion, NY on January 14, 1940, Frank was the son of the late Peter and Mary (Maneen) LaPuma. Raised and educated locally, he was a graduate of Frankfort High School, Class of 1958. He furthered his studies by attending Albany College of Pharmacy, graduating in 1962 with a degree as a Licensed Pharmacist. On June 15, 1963 Frank married the former Mary T.

A successful retail pharmacist, Frank owned and operated LaPuma’s Pharmacy in Frankfort for 34 years. He also worked at one time at Mohawk Valley General Hospital in Ilion and more recently at Rite Aid Pharmacy, retiring in 2008. For over 50 years as a retail pharmacist, he enjoyed interacting with his customers and held an appreciation for the business aspects of his profession. Frank was knowledgeable, kind and patient –attributes that allowed everyone who knew him to love and respect him. His special accomplishments in life were raising his family of whom he was so proud and his day was complete if he could make others laugh, by telling a joke. Frank was always there to lend a helping hand. Proud of his Italian heritage, he loved to cook and share his dishes with others. During his leisure time he loved to fish, garden, and was an avid Buffalo Bills fan. A confidant and good friend to many, he will be missed by all.
