Richard C. "Dick" Frame (July 16, 1926 - February 24, 1977) was an American politician and attorney who served as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate from 1962 to 1977.[2] He is the uncle of John Frame, who is a reformed theologian.
He served in the military during World War II.[3] He then earned a degree from Yale University and a law degree from University of Virginia School of Law.
In 1973, he became Republican Senate Leader, defeating Robert D. Fleming. In 1976, he lost that position to Henry G. Hager.
He died on February 24, 1977, in a plane crash near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.[1] [4] A bridge on Pennsylvania Route 8 is named after him. In 1986 the Pennsylvania General Assembly designated a section of Pennsylvania Route 8 in Venango County as the Richard C. Frame Memorial Highway.[5]
