McGinley (1928-2017) McGinley grew up in East Harlem, New York City and it was right at the heat of the Depression which came the following year--Wall Street--in 1929. His father was born in Ireland, in County Fermanagh in the northern part of Ireland. McGinley was an amazing artist, historian and man, whose talent knew no bounds. His ability to tell the stories of America’s most historic moments through art was truly unique. Crossroads and those in the history field were lucky to have had someone like him advocating for the preservation of history and his life-long contributions to the arts and history communities will endure for years to come. Frank’s way of preserving history was through his art. He was a prolific painter whose passion for telling America’s past won him numerous awards and acknowledgements both nationally and internationally. From having artwork hung in the museum in West Point Military Academy, to presenting a lithograph to President Ronald Reagan, to being the only American to ever have a painting made into an official postage stamp in Israel, Frank’s legacy reminds us that history, whether it be good or bad, must be remembered. It is important to tell those stories and remind people of the past, of the struggles for independence and the sacrifices many Americans made in the belief that others deserved to know that freedom as well. Frank’s hundreds of paintings truly show the depth of his passion.
