Obituary for David Lee Frolow
"What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash"- by Linda Ellis, Copyright 2020, thedashpoem.com
David Lee Frolow, age 85 of Margate, met his maker January 21st, 2021. He was born (October 10, 1935) and raised in Atlantic City, NJ and graduated Atlantic City High School class of 1954. David was a 3rd generation barber and spent 60 years cutting hair as owner of David Lee’s barber shop in Ventnor, NJ before joining Anthony’s Salon in Margate. In 1962 he married his sweetheart, Diana and started a family. He was a proud member of the Old Guard 3rd Infantry (1958-1962), member of the American Legion Member Post 352, and Past Worshipful Master of Trinity Justice Lodge #79. But above all his accomplishments, his biggest pride and joy was being Poppy to his eight grandchildren!
David is predeceased by his parents, Dorothy (née Keets) and Gerald Frolow and his daughter, Donna Dennehy. He is survived by his wife Diana (née Orchard); his daughters, Dawn (Robert) Hanselmann and Danielle (John) Falco; his grandchildren, Jack, Annie, Caroline, Juliana, Emily, Lucy, Leo, and Laila; sister Barbara Pallotta; brother Robert Frolow; son-in-law Robert Dennehy, nieces, nephews, and many cousins.
A gregarious fellow and a charitable soul, David was a friend to all. He loved to share a laugh and was passionate about golf. Ever the avid sports enthusiast, David enjoyed coaching Ventnor Pirates football and when he wasn’t watching sports (which was constantly), he enjoyed a Mel Brookes film or an old war movie. One of his most rewarding experiences was being a mentor to his friend Billy. Summers were spent barbecuing ribs, steaming crabs, or taking his family out for meals.
Whether you knew him by Dave, Juice, The Man, King Solomon, Mentor, Coach, Barber, or as family, he treated you with just the same love and generosity. David would never pass up an opportunity to make someone smile with his good old dollar bill trick, a little serenade, a dance, or a perhaps a goofy face! He surely lived his dash with much fun and love! His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him.
Please share your stories of remembrance on social media. Services will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, family asks for donations to be made to an organization or charity of your choice in David’s honor. And to honor of David be sure you live your dash to the fullest! https://thedashpoem.com/dash-poem-meaning/
