It is with mixed emotion that we announce the retirement of Frank G. DuPree. Mixed in that we hate to see him go, we know his clients will miss him, BUT we understand that the reward at the end of many years of dedicated service is to have some time to run your day without a schedule, and without the commitments of a work routine.

Retirement will find Frank relaxing with his wife, his two labrador retrievers, and one ornery old cat! I expect he'll be out in the garage working on one of his Packard automobiles, or possibly his MG? Maybe he'll be at the shooting range testing out some iron, smoking a fine cigar, or relaxing at his cabin. Whatever strikes his fancy!

Frank joined Darnielle Insurance in September of 2001, and has retired as of July 1, 2025. Just a wink short of 24 years spent greeting customers and taking care of their insurance needs with the typical Frank wit, compassion and respect. We are all better and richer for having worked alongside him these many years. Congratulations Frank! You will be missed.
