Frank A. Harp, 82, passed away April 7, 2026, in Tallahassee surrounded by his family. He was born September 15, 1943, in St. Petersburg, FL to Burman and Dorothy Harp.

As a greeter on Sunday mornings, his infectious smile and jovial nature made everyone feel welcome. He was retired from the United States Postal service after many years of service. Frank could always be found at this favorite car shows where he proudly displayed his 1929 Model A car. He almost always won the trophy and made many friends. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Burman and Dorothy Harp and a brother Johnny Harp. He is survived by his wife Judy S. Harp, his children, Jennifer Harp, Shannon Harp and Jeffery Harp.
