Frank J. Szipszky

SZIPSZKY, FRANK J. Beloved husband of Barbara Kelly, passed away June 4, 2008 at home in Bailey, CO at the age of 72 after a long illness. He was born in Newark, NJ on May 10, 1936. As a graduate of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Stevens Institute of Technology, he began a long successful Engineering career with Bell Laboratories at various NJ locations, evolving into Bellcore, from which he retired December 31, 1993 after many years. Frank and Barbara settled in the mountains of Bailey, CO in their dream home in 1999, along with their loyal chocolate lab, Hershey, where Frank immediately began to demonstrate his master carpentry talents by building a 5-star luxury tree house retreat for his 9 grandchildren to enjoy. No mountain home project was too big a challenge, but rather the day's enjoyment. He is survived by his wife of 7 years, Barbara; daughter Patricia Faraldi (Joe) of Barnegat, NJ; son Robert (Patricia) Szipszky of Newtown Square, PA; James (Dianne) Szipszky of Oakville Toronto, Canada; grandchildren Kara, Christopher, Michael, Jack, Brian, Natasha, Claire, Maggie and Paige, as well as his sisters Joyce Nelson of Boonton, NJ and Helen Betlow of Readers, PA. Frank was an extraordinary man of various talents who touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him. Visitation will be on Sunday, 4-6PM at Horan and McConaty Family Chapel, 3101 S. Wadsworth Blvd. Rosary and mass will be offered at St. Mary of the Rockies in Bailey, CO on Monday, 11AM. Interment will follow at Mt. Lindo Cemetery in Morrison, CO.
