Francis Joseph Jamison Jr., retired financier
Francis Joseph Jamison Jr., 68, was born Nov. 28 1951, in Wilmington. He died June 5, 2020, after a long battle with leukemia.
He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Leigh (Cloniger); his son Acton; sister Lisa Hansen; brother Scott Jamison; brother-in-law Jimmy Cloniger; mother-in-law Joan Sellers; and many wonderful cousins. Frank was predeceased by his father Fran; his mother Bette; his brother Peter; and brother-in-law George Hansen.
Frank graduated from Tower Hill School in 1969 where he was a three-sport all-conference athlete, setting the school’s career basketball scoring record. He graduated from Williams College in 1973 where he continued his athletic success on the baseball diamond. After attending the University of Virginia’s Darden Business School, Frank enjoyed a successful 40-year career in the finance industry, holding management positions at Smith Barney, Alex Brown, Legg Mason and CGA Capital, a career he enjoyed with zest through his final year.
He was a member of Green Spring Valley Hunt Club in Baltimore, Md., and Rehoboth Beach Country Club in Rehoboth Beach. To say golf was an important part of his life would be an understatement, which his golfing partners would attest to.
He served the Baltimore Chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Foundation for many years. After enjoying many summers in Henlopen Acres, he and his family permanently relocated there in 2013. He had the great pleasure of being elected commissioner of the Town of Henlopen Acres.
Frank was a kind man, loved his family, cared deeply about his friends and was universally respected for his judgment and thoughtfulness.
A graveside funeral service will be held Monday, June 15, at 11 a.m. at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Church, 10 Old Church Road Greenville. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to: GBMC Foundation in memory of Frank Jamison for the benefit of the Infusion Center in the Berman Cancer Institute.
