Mr. Frank Malcolm Wivell, a US Army veteran and a former coach/umpire for Upper Moreland Little League, girls’ softball, and local youth basketball leagues, passed away on Saturday, November 30. He was 86 years old.

Mr. Wivell was a long-time resident of Willow Grove and most recently a nine-year resident of Wesley Enhanced Living in Hatboro. He also lived in Jenkintown where he worked at Standard Pressed Steel.

“He transitioned to become a ceramic tile setter and was a proud member of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers for more than 50 years, even serving the union in advisory roles,” his obituary said. “He worked as a long time PIAA official in football, basketball, and baseball. He was a walking encyclopedia of everything Philly sports related, and lifelong avid Eagles, Sixers, Flyers, and Phillies fan.”
