Obituary of Frank Finn

Frank “Mickey” Finn, aged 95 of Plymouth, formerly of Milton and Brockton, passed away peacefully in his home September 13, 2019. Mr. Finn is survived by his loving wife of 68 years Wanda. His only sibling, Flora Kovac of Canfield, Ohio predeceased him. Mr. Finn at age 18 volunteered for the U.S. Marine Corps in 1942 serving his country proudly in the Pacific.  Frank worked as a bartender at the Quincy Lodge of Elks for more than 25 years where he was said to put a tear in the eyes of Quincys' finest singing Irish ballads nightly. Frank loved sports and took pride in watching his children and grandchildren play. In his younger days he was athletic himself. Returning to Brockton after World War II he was a middleweight boxer training alongside lifelong friend Rocky Marciano. He ran for the Boston Athletic Association in competitive road races and in the Boston Marathon. During the early 1950’s he  played center for the region’s semi pro football club. 

Mr. Finn was a devoted dad to his five sons Michael, Stevie, Jimmy, Joey and Chris of Plymouth and Kingston. He cherished his time with his 9 grandchildren Mike, Stephanie, Danny, Jonathan, Kristen, Lindsay, Matthew, Emily, Connor and their moms Jean, Ruth, Donna and his 9 great grandchildren.
