Frank James Pemrick Jr.
HUDSON FALLS
- Francis
Pemrick, Jr.
passed away
peacefully
Thursday,
July 15,
2021
surrounded
by his
loving
family.
Francis was
born
 April
7, 1935, the
son of
Francis
Pemrick, Sr.
and Reta
Pemrick
(Donahue) in
Cambridge,
NY. He
graduated
from
Cambridge
High School
in 1952, and
married the
love of his
life,
Marilyn,
October 1,
1955.
Stationed in
France and
Germany,
Francis
served in
the United
States Army
from 1955 to
1957.
Following
his military
service, he
began his
career as a
mail carrier
from 1960
until his
retirement
from the
United
States
Postal
Service in
1990, at age
55.
Francis was
an avid
outdoorsman
and enjoyed
hiking,
hunting,
fishing and
target
practice for
most of his
life. After
retirement
Francis
spent
several
summers with
longtime
friend
George
Walgrove
hiking the
southern
half of the
Appalachian
trail. He
was a member
of the
Greenwich
Pistol Club
from 1974 to
2019. Once
retiring he
devoted more
time
attending
firearm
competitions,
winning the
bronze medal
for Rapid
Fire in the
1996 Empire
State Games.
Later in
life he also
began
playing
saxophone in
several
community
bands. He
enjoyed
playing in
the
Cambridge
Fireman's
Band and in
the Lakeland
Concert Band
in Florida
for many
years and
rarely
missed
marching in
the
Cambridge
and Salem
Memorial Day
Parades with
his son,
Scott.
Whenever he
had a free
moment,
Francis
could be
found buried
in a book,
likely a
western or
military
history, a
pastime he
relished all
his life.
