Franklin M. Hundley, 90
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Franklin M. Hundley, who left us June 6, 2025, at age 90. Mr. Hundley passed away peacefully at home with his wife, Priscilla, at his side.
Mr. Hundley was born to Alonza and Hilda Hundley on March 10, 1935, in Honolulu, into a proud U.S. Navy family. He spent the first few years of his life in Honolulu before the family was transferred to Kittery, Maine, and then Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he spent his formative years. He always spoke fondly of and was very grateful for his life in Portsmouth. Upon graduating from Portsmouth High School in 1953, Frank received a Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps scholarship to attend the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, where he earned a bachelor of arts degree and was commissioned as an officer in the Navy in 1957. He was the first college graduate and military officer in his family, an accomplishment looked upon with great pride by his parents.
After serving for three years in the Navy, Frank attended Harvard Law School and received his juris doctor degree in 1963. He then had a successful and fulfilling law career of nearly 40 years with the law firm of Rich May P.C. in Boston and retired in 2003.
Most important to Frank, during this time he met and married his love, friend, and life partner of nearly 62 years, Priscilla (Cass) Hundley. Together they made a home and life in Belmont and raised three wonderful children. In retirement, Frank loved his time at the family’s lakeside home in Eaton Center, New Hampshire. Frank was a respected attorney, a wonderful and loving husband and father, and a true gentleman to all. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Frank is survived by his wife Priscilla (Cass) Hundley; his children Sarah Hundley (Jon Garcia), Laura Hundley (Britt Swenson), and Gilbert Hundley (Shannon Doyle); and his grandson Spencer Hundley.
A celebration of life service will be held at 10 a.m., Monday, June 23, 2025, at Newbury Court’s Duvall Chapel, 80 Deaconess Road, with a light lunch reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Newbury Court Staff Scholarship at newburycourt.org/donate/ or Newbury Court, 80 Deaconess Road, Acton, MA 01742.
Arrangements are entrusted to Dee Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Acton. To share a remembrance or offer a condolence on Frank’s tribute page, visit DeeFuneralHome.com.
