Frank H. Ferguson

Frank H. Ferguson Jr., of Chadds Ford, passed away on June 6, 2025 at Brandywine Living at Longwood in Kennett Square. He was 82.

Born in Wilmington, Del., he was a son of the late Frank Ferguson and the late Velma Milligan Ferguson.

Frank lived in the Balmoral neighborhood of Chadds Ford for 30 years, and was a longtime employee of the DuPont Company. He retired in 2001. Following his retirement, he continued to volunteer his time with the Wilmington & Western Railroad in Wilmington, Del. He was passionate about trains and loved spending time on them.

In addition, Frank was a car enthusiast, especially when it came to Corvettes, Camaros, and Chevelles. He was known to get a new car every two years because he would get bored with the one he was driving. He also collected model cars and was an avid NASCAR fan.

Frank was known for his love of Guinness beer and craft breweries and took a trip to Colorado every year.

He will be missed for his smile and sense of humor.

Frank is survived by his close friends, Amanda Carey, Constance Penn "CP" Wilson, Diane Wright, and a number of other good friends from both Two Stones Pub in Kennet Square and Dew Point Brewery in Yorklyn, Del.

A celebration of Frank’s life will be announced at a future date.

Arrangements are being handled by Grieco Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc. (484-734-8100) of Kennett Square.
