Obituary

Leary, Francis J. (Frank) 59 died suddenly at home on May 20th in West Roxbury in a close-knit neighborhood, many of whom were his friends. He was formerly from Forest Hills where he also had many friends. Frank was a proud US Army Veteran. He was an accomplished carpenter who always took pride in the quality of his work. He was a Motorcycle enthusiast who loved to be on his Harley in the good weather. He also loved to be on his boat on the Charles River fishing whenever possible.

Frank looked at life through his own special glasses and had the greatest sense of humor. He was a fun guy to just be around and at some point in talking to Frank you would always get a great belly laugh from something he said. Frank was often described as a “character” and indeed he was. He was the Past Governor of the Moose Lodge of Dedham and a long-time member where he also had many friends. He was a totally dedicated brother to five siblings who will miss his laugh and love, as will his children and grandchildren.

Frank is survived by his daughter Kirstyn (Olivo) her husband Will and his grandchildren, Alex, Emma, Chloe and Owen all of Taunton, and his son Timothy of Watertown. He is also survived by brothers William and his wife Donna of Medway, Michael of Plymouth, Stephen of Holliston and a sister Nancy of CA. A Nephew and good friend Billy of Medway. He also has many nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his parents Thomas and Velia (Lombardi) Leary and brothers Thomas Jr and John.

Due to the restrictions in place because of the Covid-19 pandemic there will be no calling hours and the burial at the Massachusetts Veterans Cemetery in Bourne will be private. There may be a memorial service at a later date to be announced.
