Frank Samuel Dove, Sr., 72, of Camp Springs, MD died February 1, 2007 in Southern Maryland Hospital Center, Clinton, MD.

Born July 15, 1934 in Scotland, MD, he was the son of the late Joseph Thomas "Fred" Dove and Mary Ellen Cutchember Dove. He was the youngest of 15 children.

Frank attended both Scotland School and Jarboesville School; however, because he had to financially help support his family, he left school to work full time. His first job was at Peter Campbell's Tomato Factory in Cornfield Harbor in Scotland, MD. He later grew his own tomato garden for a living. He worked as a bus boy at the Statler Hotel in Washington, DC. Frank returned home and worked in the construction industry, until he signed up for the U.S. Army in 1953. He was honorably discharged in 1960 after serving in Korea. To earn a living for his family, while awaiting full-time employment, Frank detailed cars and shucked oysters at the oyster factory. Frank became employed by the Federal Government in the Department of Transportation at the Patuxent River Test Center. He worked for 30 years in various capacities, including chauffer, heavy duty equipment operator, and truck driver. In 1990, he began working for Waste Management of Southern Maryland. On September 24, 1999, Frank received a 9-year Service Award upon his departure.

Frank married Ann Loretta Dove in 1955. From their union, Francine, Frank, Jr., Waverly, Deon, and Monique were born.

The "apple of Frank's eye" was his family. He always put his children first during their childhood as well as during their adulthood. In fact, at the time of his death, Frank was working for his son, Frank, Jr., as the service manager of Frank, Jr.'s All Tune and Lube, in Marlow Heights. He was also working for Francine and Steve as the Facilities Manager at the Global Village Learning Center. He had worked for them as the manager of the Mixx Lounge and Grill. When Monique had her store, Uptown Sportswear, he managed it as well. Frank was living with Monique at the time of his death.

Frank was also the earthly anchor for his siblings. He was the one to whom everyone looked for emotional, financial, and advisory support. Frank got along with everyone in his community. He was known for helping others, whether it was giving away canned goods or the fish that he had caught, getting jobs for people via his connections, taking people to appointments, helping navigate bureaucracies, or just simply listening to folk.

Frank's favorite pastime activities were fishing, watching baseball and cheering on the Washington Redskins. In his youthful days, Frank managed various community baseball teams including the Hilcrest Hustlers and the Scotland teams.

Frank leaves to mourn his children, Francine Hawkins and her husband, Steve of Lexington Park, MD, Frank Dove and his wife, Paula of Hughesville, MD, Mary Monique Dove of Camp Springs, MD, his granddaughter, Stevie-Mari Hawkins of Lexington Park, MD, sister, Catherine Dove, brother, Paul Dove and his wife, Edna, all of Scotland, MD, his sister-in-law, Lottie Dove of Park Hall, MD, one more grandchild, two great- grandchildren, ex-wife, Loretta Dove, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by two children, Waverly and Deon Dove, sisters, Laura Dove, Maryanne White, Ella Courtney, Adelaide Jones, Maggie Purnell, Rosie Hickman, and Agnes Bryan, and brothers, Joseph, Ellis, Johnny, Charles, and Jesse Dove.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, February 10, 2007 from 8:30- 10:30 a.m. in St. Peter Claver Catholic Church, St. Inigoes, MD, with the Funeral Service conducted at 10: 30 a.m. Reverend Leroy Boldley will officiate.
