Frank Stuart Straub, 77, husband of Peggy Lee (Hamor) Straub, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at his home in Gilbertsville.
Born in Danville, he was the son of the late Frank Stuart Straub Sr. and Thurley (Belford) Straub.
Frank loved his family above all else. He was very family oriented and enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Frank was an avid Philadelphia Sports fan, especially for the Phillies, Eagles, and Sixers. He was a decades long Phillies season ticket holder. Frank loved playing golf and nature photography. He was a former science teacher and that sparked his interest in weather and astronomy. Frank was also an avid world traveler with his wife, Peggy. He was a longtime member of Faulkner Swamp UCC in Gilbertsville. He worked many years in the pharmaceutical industry, retiring from Pfizer in 2011. In addition to their lifelong friends in PA, Frank and his family made many close friends in South Carolina over the last 33 years. Frank loved his winters at their Conway house, where snowblowers are only a myth.
Surviving along with his wife, Peggy, of 54 years, is his daughter Jennifer L. Nymark, wife of Michael; son Michael S. Straub, husband of Jennifer L. Straub; brother Earl H. Straub, husband of Joan; Grandchildren Maryn Nymark, Noah Nymark, Ivy Straub, and Cormac Straub; godson Tommy Kopetskie; and nephews Wesley Dietterick and Jonathan Straub.
