Life Story for Francis X Yurt Sr.
Francis X. Yurt, Sr., 88, a resident of North Chelmsford, passed away peacefully at Lowell General Hospital following an illness, surrounded by his loving children. He was the husband of the late Rosemarie (Consolazio) Yurt.
Born in Brighton, MA on April 3, 1928, he was a son of the late Xavier and Emilienne J. (Archambault) Yurt.
Fran served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II and was honorably discharged. Fran went on to pursue higher education at the Berklee School of Music, in Boston.
He was employed for many years as an engineer's aide by RCA and later GE. While at RCA, he assisted engineers working on moon missions through NASA. He was very proud of his family’s Swiss heritage and was an active member of the Swiss Society of Boston.
Fran was a talented musician, having played the piano for most of his life, and was a band member of The Larry Queen Orchestra that was comprised of his dear brother Bernie and friends. He was a good, kind man who loved his family and laughed easily. He will be missed dearly.
Fran is survived by his children Donald L. Yurt and his longtime partner Patricia Tyler of Newton; Mary Chase and her husband, Michael of Raymond, NH; Sheila Yurt of Lowell; grandchildren Michelle Chase and Marcus Chase of Raymond, NH; beloved nieces and nephew, Susan, Lauri, Cindy, Steven and Kristen; sister-in-law, Janet Yurt of Wrentham; half-brother Marcel Yurt of FL and step-brother Paul Yurt of NY. He was the father of the late Francis X. Yurt, Jr. who passed away in 1991, and he was the brother of the late Bernard Yurt.
