      Frank R. Slade, 72, of Colchester, beloved husband and best friend of Mary Jane (MacKay) Slade, passed away Monday evening, March 23, 2015, at home, surrounded by family after a long battle with cancer. Born in Attleboro, MA, he was a son of the late Frank R. Slade, Sr. and Miriam (Skinner) Slade Palmer. He graduated from North Attleboro High School in 1960 and attended Pfeiffer College in NC. Frank always introduced his wife Mary Jane as his "bride." They grew up on the same street and were married on July 21, 1962, moving to Colchester in 1970. Frank worked as a mechanic in Colchester before finally finding his dream job as owner/operator of the Snap Shack in Glastonbury, fulfilling his love of cameras and photography, until he retired in 2003. Frank was a former member of the Colchester Hayward Volunteer Fire Dept. where he served as secretary, photographer and Captain of the Fire Police. He was a Constable in Colchester in the late 1970's prior to establishment of the Colchester Police Dept. He was a member of the Westchester Congregational Church where he served on several committees, including Chair of the Prudential Committee. Frank created and maintained the original website for the church. His passion for fishing, camping and his motorhome led to several trips across this beautiful country with Mary Jane. Frank had a keen knowledge of country music and the oldies and often could name a song in just a few notes. Frank also had an amazing gift to make people laugh and set them at ease and was known for his big hugs. He will be sadly missed, but always remembered by his beloved wife Mary Jane of 52 years; four children, Jeffrey and wife Lisa Slade of Oakdale, Gregory of Foreston, MN, Stephen and his wife Melissa of Tolland and Elizabeth Ann and her husband Dennis Kessler of Colchester; eight grandchildren, Emily, Tanner, Sarah, Taylor, Spencer, Parker, Kelly Ann and Kyle; a brother Barry Slade and his wife Susan of Hickory, NC; two sisters Patricia and her husband William Chadwick of North Attleboro, MA and Karen and her husband Peter Fontaine also of North Attleboro, MA; and several extended family members and friends. The family would like to give a very special thank you to Dr. Peter Schauer and the entire staff at The Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center. He loved all of the nurses at the center, but had a special fondness for Donna Rioux.
