Frank Herschel Rhoad, Jr.

August 20, 1941 — March 21, 2018

Frank Herschel Rhoad, Jr., 76, of Charleston, passed away on Wednesday, March 21, 2018.

He was born on August 20, 1941 in Walterboro, SC, son of the late Annie Weeks Rhoad and the late Frank Herschel Rhoad, Sr.

Frank grew up in Ruffin, SC, and joined the 3rd Infantry Division after graduating from high school. After serving four years in the U.S. Army, he worked at the Charleston Navy Shipyard for 29 years.
