He was born in Middleboro, Massachusetts on March 29, 1923 to Doris Alden Kelley Keith and Clifford Lovell Keith. He and his sister Jane grew up at 68 Bourne Street. He graduated from Memorial High School before leaving Massachusetts in 1943 to attend the United States Naval Academy. Due to the war effort, his class of 1947 was accelerated and he graduated June 5, 1946 when he was proudly commissioned an Ensign in the United States Navy. Frank was married to Anne Cronin of Aberdeen Maryland at the Naval Academy Chapel on June 12, 1948. He received his Naval Aviator wings and served with USN squadrons in Florida, Maryland, Washington, California, Texas, Newfoundland and Pennsylvania as a pilot and commander of the Navy’s largest aircraft, including the P-2V Neptune, S-2F Tracker, and EC-121 Constellation Warning Star until his military retirement in 1966. From 1966 – 1976, he served as a tracking systems engineer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland as a member of the team managing the Apollo moon landings and Apollo-Soyuz missions. During this time, he attended evening classes at the University of Maryland, earning a Master’s Degree in History. After leaving NASA, he was employed as an engineer by TRW until his final retirement to Florida in 1985. In Florida, Frank was involved with various organizations, including Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), Association of Naval Aviators (ANA), Lion’s Club, and Meals on Wheels. Frank served on the board of his homeowners association, Indian River Colony Club, for several years. He enjoyed golf, reading, and crossword puzzles. He was predeceased by his father Clifford Keith in 1963, his mother Doris Keith in 2002, and his sister Jane Keith Gale in 2009. His beloved wife, Anne, survives him in their home at IRCC.
