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.

Career

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.[4]

In 1973, he became Republican Senate Leader, defeating Robert D. Fleming.[4] In 1976, he lost that position to Henry G. Hager.[4]

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]
