LACONIA — Francis “Frank” D. Drzewiecki, 90, a longtime resident of Laconia, died Oct. 25, 2019, at his home.

Frank was born and raised in Bristol, Connecticut, the son of the late Frank and Teresa (Kuczmarski) Drzewiecki. He attended St. Stanislaus grammar school and was a graduate of Bristol High School.

Frank served in the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1953.

Frank worked many years as a furniture salesman.

Frank enjoyed collecting stamps and coins, traveling, and camping with his family and friends. As a young man, he played many sports — baseball, basketball, and football. He truly loved baseball. He was always cheering for the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. In his younger years, he played baseball for a farm team. He was also a big supporter of his grandsons playing Little League and school baseball as well as soccer and football, attending all of their games.
