William L. Frye, 84, of Middlecreek Road, Beaver Springs, passed away Monday, May 25, 2020, at his home surrounded by his family.
He was born Dec. 30, 1935, in Coal Township, a son of the late Helen M. Carr. On June 13, 1953, he married Nancy I. (Price) Frye who preceded him in death on Feb. 1, 2012.

He was previously employed at Arrows Shirt Factory, Anthracite Coal Company, Reading Transportation, Wood-Mode and the Midd-West school district before retiring.
