My grandfather was a great man; kind, loving, wise, and witty. He was born Feb 29, 1928 and passed October 28, 2023 – 95 years young.
Frank was born in Biddeford, Maine to Frank C. and Beth Moulin in 1928. He lived a playful childhood and went on to graduate from Biddeford High School in 1946. Soon after, he enlisted in the US Army serving in the 19th Infantry, 24th Division on occupation duty in Beppu, Japan.
Shortly after attending the New England School of Arts, he met the love of his life, Aline Fleurent. They were married April 19, 1959 and enjoyed 50 years together before her passing in 2009. Frank was a commercial newspaper artist for the Portland Division, Bangor Daily News, which led to a 38-year career at the Union Leader.
He was predeceased by his wife, Aline Moulin, sister Marlene Moulin, and daughter, Karen Rose. His surviving family members are his granddaughter, Andréa Tromp, and great-grandchildren Marcus Rose and Jayden Robinson. A special thank you to Frank’s son-in-law and devoted caregiver John Finck, who has stayed by his side the past several years and has provided unconditional support.
