Frank S. Thorp, Jr.

Frank S. Thorp Jr., 80, of East Marion, passed peacefully while surrounded by his loving family.

 Frank had a rewarding career as a respected social studies teacher at Weber J.H.S. in Port Washington. He taught fairness and tolerance while encouraging each student to do their personal best. In addition, for many years he directed the sailing programs at yacht clubs in Port Washington and Orient.

He enjoyed his later years working at S.T. Preston & Sons. in Greenport, where he shared his vast knowledge of boating and local waters.

 He is survived by his loving wife, Paula, his four children, Charles Thorp, Ann Asaro and husband Michael, Jill Doherty, Frank Thorp III and wife Shannon, and his brother Edward and wife Virginia.
