In Loving Memory Franklin Thomas Glascott September 24, 1935 - July 26, 2019 Franklin (Frank) T. Glascott of S. Rockwood went in peace to his final resting place on Friday July 26, 2019 at his daughters home where he has resided since June 18, 2019, under the care of Beaumont Hospice. He was surrounded by his loving family. Frank was born in Detroit Michigan on September 24, 1935 one of four children to Joseph & Viola (Godard) Glascott. Frank married Arvella York the love of his life on February 19, 1954, and together they shared 63 wonderful years. Out of their union they had 3 children, Cindy L. Glascott Flint (Jerry Flint), Lorene A. Glascott Reed (Tony Reed), one son Craig J. Glascott (Lynn Glascott). They had 7 grandchildren, Jason Flint (Elissa), Kyle Flint (Beth) and Nicholas Flint (Holly), Lindsey ( Reed) Buehrer ( Gene) and Russell Reed, Steven Glascott (Michelle) and Dylan Glascott. He also had 11 great-grandchildren. He is survived by two sisters Joan Glascott Bergmoser (Howard) who lives in Florida and Ruth Glascott Messingham (Arthur) who resides in California. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his wife Arvella and a sister Julie Glascott Felt. Frank was a plumber for Plumbers Local 98 in Detroit for 40 years until he hung up his bibs in 1993. He moved to Newport in 1967 & enjoyed boating, golfing & bowling. He bought his first boat the “What’s Next” & from that he joined Swan Boat Club where he eventually became Commodore in 1981. He then went on to own the “Longbranch Lounge”. After that he moved to Lakes of the North in 1993 & enjoyed snowmobiling, four-wheeling and gardening. He loved when all his kids & grandchildren came to visit. Then one more move to Orlando, Florida where he & Arvella loved the warm weather & sunshine. In 2018 we had to move them back to Michigan because of both their declining health. Frank & Arvella both shared their favorite song together by Glady’s Knight “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me”. We know he is where he wanted to be with his best friend & wife Arvella. A private committal service is being planned for a later date and will take place at Michigan Memorial Park Cemetery.
