#Fairfield CT–A tribute to Frank Godwin has been set up on the bench that Frank had frequented over the years at the corner of Reef and Old Post Road.  Multiple Facebook posts of friends said they would often buy him something to eat at 7-11, Bagel Emporium  or McDonald’s.  The bench was lined with flowers and 7-11 coffee cups.  Frank, aged 87 was killed when he was hit by a car at the intersection of Myrtle and Prospect Street in Bridgeport on February 6. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with police.

 

Many friends and acquaintances commented “He Knew anything and everything about the townies in Fairfield”,  “as a bus driver we all miss him we knew what area he would be at what time”.  Many would say he would cheer them up when they were down.

 

Rest in peace Frank, you had a positive impact on so many!
