Frank Elmer Guyette
Frank Elmer Guyette, 91, of Manchester NH, passed away on January 21st, 2019 in New Port Richey, FL. Born in Raymond NH on July 5th, 1927 to Elmer & Amy (Raymond) Guyette, Frank lived the majority of his life in New Hampshire. He met the "love of his life," Lorraine St. Onge, in Manchester, and they shared 63 years of loving marriage.
A proud veteran and skilled musician, Frank served in the US Navy Admirals band through WWII and the Korean War, traveling around the world with the Admiral. Following his military service, Frank enjoyed over 40 years of employment at Equifax as an insurance inspector, where he was both loved and respected by his many friends and co-workers. He will be remembered as a kind yet skilled leader who was loyal to his colleagues and company.
Frank loved music throughout his entire life. He played the trumpet in the military and later had his own band the Mark V Orchestra. He had a deep appreciation for swing and jazz music, and especially loved the work of Raphael Mendez. The sounds and memories of his music will continue to resonate after he is gone. Frank also loved traveling and traversed the country several times in his motor home with his wife, stopping to visit his many friends along the way. Above all, Frank loved his family immensely, and he will be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched.
Frank is survived by his loving wife Lorraine (St. Onge) Guyette; daughter Elizabeth and husband William Cote; daughter Paula Young; daughter Margaret 'Meg' Donohue; son Tom Guyette, as well as 15 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
A gathering in remembrance of Frank's life will be held on Saturday, April 6th at 9:00 AM at Phaneuf Funeral Homes, 243 Hanover St. Manchester NH, with a memorial service beginning at 10:00 AM. Following the service, Frank will be laid to rest at the Pine Grove Cemetery in Manchester at 11:15 AM.
