Frank Leo Droughn, Sr.
Oct. 4, 1915 Oct. 15, 2004

Frank Leo Droughn entered into the presence of the Lord on October 15, 2004. 
Frank moved to Bakersfield, CA in November 2000. He enjoyed the warm 
surroundings provided by his son and daughter-in-law, Jesse and Diane, his 
son, Frank, Jr. and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

Frank, dearly known as Big Pop was born in Douglas, Georgia where he spent 
most of his years as a youth. He later relocated to Staten Island, NY where he 
wed Carrie Mason, began a family, and worked as a backhoe operator for 35 
years. After retiring in 1980 from Ocean View Cemetery the Beautiful of Staten 
Island, Frank and Carrie embarked on a series of cross country trips, visiting 
loved ones. His wife went to be with the Lord in April 1991. Big Pop loved 
dressing to the T in fine clothing. It wasnt uncommon for him to greet you in 
full suit with handkerchief and hat for an afternoon of television. Other 
pastimes were playing his electric guitar, piano and attending church 
services. He was a member of the Camarillo First Church of God in Christ, 
Camarillo, CA where he accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and was baptized by his 
pastor and son, Jesse.
