Frank Joseph Appelgate

Retired Doctor Frank Joseph Appelgate died on January 15th, 2022, in a tragic accident in Moberly, Missouri. Dr Appelgate had resided in Moberly. He was born on March 12, 1953 in Suffern, New York. Dr Appelgate grew up in Mahwah, New Jersey and was educated at Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey. Frank then graduated from the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, School of Medicine.

He is survived by his first wife Irma Ruth Appelgate and second Jeannie Appelgate, his children: Linda Ruth, Francesca, Michael, Jaclyn and a granddaughter Amani. Frank is also survived by his younger brothers: Kenneth and Jeffrey.

Frank enjoyed life to its fullest.  Must say he delved into many activities, amongst them roller blading, off-road motor biking, moving along the ways from the East Coast to living in Missouri.  Frank had a passion for Jeeps for sure.  Lastly, Franks latest humer was balancing a Dorito chip off his new mustache.
