Frank G. Coon Sr. “Hank”, age 90 of Morrisville, PA, passed away on Friday, December 21, 2012, at St. Mary Hospital in Langhorne. Born and raised in Girardville, PA, he was a resident of Bristol Township for many years before moving to Morrisville 40 years ago. Hank was a Foreman for the former Ken Ray Sign Co. in Bristol Borough and Langhorne until his retirement 28 years ago.
