Obituary for John H. Frymoyer Print John H. Frymoyer, 88, died peacefully on January 23, 2019 as a patient at the Reading Hospital with family by his side. Born in Reading, he was the youngest son of the late Ralph S. and Florence (Haag) Frymoyer. John graduated from Shillington High School in 1948.
He attended Albright College as a business administrative major and graduated in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics. He was a member of the Pi Tau Beta fraternity. John was a veteran who served for two years in the Navy during the Korean War.
John worked for the New York Life Insurance Company; then began his 37 year career employed by Great Valley Savings Bank (later merging with Fulton Bank). John retired as an Executive Vice President and Director of the bank. John met his wife Doris on a blind date when he was 23 years old.
Two years later, on May 12, 1956, they were married at Calvary United Church of Christ in Reading. John was a member of Calvary United Church of Christ, where he served on the consistory and was an usher. John was also an active member of the Shillington Rotary Club and was a past president and board member.
When he retired, he volunteered at the Senior Center in Reading. John was athletic and enjoyed playing sports throughout his life. In high school he played football, basketball, and baseball.
