Norfolk Virginian Pilot March 5, 1946

                 Frank J. Panella, Club Operator, Succumbs at 49

Frank Joseph Panella, 49, co-manager of the exclusive Twenty-ninth Division 
Association Club on West Tazewell Street since it was established almost four 
years ago, died suddenly of a heart attack at his home, 501 Carlisle Way, 
yesterday about 1 p.m.
The body was taken to the H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments on Colonial Avenue 
pending funeral arrangements, which had not been completed. His only child, 
Frank A. Panella, an Army veteran of World War II, was expected home momentarily 
from the Pacific and funeral arrangements were being withheld pending his 
arrival.   
Panella was a veteran of World War I, when he served in the 111th Field 
Artillery of the famous Twenty-ninth Division and when the Twenty-ninth Division 
Association decided to open its own club quarters here he and R.N. Falls were 
selected to be co-managers, positions they had held ever since. The deceased had 
been engaged in several successful business enterprises, including the Academy 
Barber Shop and Frank's Barbecue, before he took over the position with the 
club.
He was the son of the late Antonio and Mrs. Mary Vita Panella and had lived in 
Norfolk since early childhood. He was popular not only with his own club's 
members but with many other veterans' organizations. In addition to his soldier 
son he is survived by his wife, Pearl Dinofa Panella and two brothers, Joseph 
and John J. Panella, both of Norfolk.
