Francis Lawrence Gajewski, age 82 of Millsboro, DE, formerly of Wilmington, DE, passed away on Monday, September 21, 2020 at the Bayhealth Hospital in Milford, DE.
Fran was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He always made sure that his family never did without and always put his family and others first.
A graduate of Salesianum High School, Fran served proudly as a seaman in the U.S. Navy.
After retiring from Getty Oil, and moving to Long Neck, he loved joining in on neighborhood clean up days, picnics and holiday parties. He especially loved gatherings on their porch with family and friends. After all, life is a beach!
