He married the love of his life, Barbara McManama Curley on October 21, 1973. Together, Frank and Barbara embraced the journey of marriage creating a legacy of love and family.

Frank was lovingly committed to his children; Daniel Curley and his wife Laura of Medway, MA, Matthew Curley and his wife Allison of Medway, MA and Kathrynne Curley of Tewksbury, MA. As a kind and devoted grandfather, known to his grandchildren as Grampa, Frank adored Brendan, Maeve, Olivia, Samuel, Ian and Isabel.

He was also a loving brother-in-law to Carl McManama and Judie Blair, Susan Gianinno and Larry, Beth Murphy and John, the late Dan McManama, Steven McManama and Chris, Michael McManama and Cathy, Peter McManama and Linda, and Marianne Howard and Don.

Frank proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard for four years where he was awarded the National Defense Service Medal and the Coast Guard Good Conduct Medal. Following completion of his military service in 1970, he began his career at Marr Scaffolding Company in South Boston and dedicated himself to the company for over forty years.

He could often be found in the waters off of Hull as a young man, Humarock and Plymouth, where he delighted in sharing his love for the sea with his children and grandchildren.
