Alfred "Frank" Diplock, age 86, of Oscoda died on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009, at his home. He was born on Feb. 4, 1923, in Detroit to the late Alfred and Annie (nee Wood) Diplock. Frank served in the United States Navy during World War II as a gunners mate. He then pursued a career in printing as a union typesetter in the Detroit area. Former employers include Arnold Power Printing and TP Henry Companies. Frank retired and moved to the Oscoda area nearly 20 years ago. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge.
