Frank Shulman, 89 of Pompano Beach, Florida died peacefully in his wife Nicole’s arms on
November 17, 2024
A memorial service will be held on December 2, 2024, at John Knox Village at 651 SW 6th St,
Pompano Beach, Florida, with a reception immediately following.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be given to the Southern Poverty Law Center or to
Doctors Without Borders.
Frank is survived by his wife Nicole “Nikki”, and the children they had together, or who came into
their lives as a blended family. They are daughter Rachel; Nicole’s children Jacqueline Granville,
and Richard Forbes; and Frank’s children from his first marriage Regina “Gigi” Gore, Holly
Shulman, Miriam “Mikki” Shulman. Frank is also survived by his cherished grandchildren Akim
Granville, Steadman Clementson, Daniel Daglish, Robert Gore, Nina Forbes, and beloved great
granddaughter Amahya Clementson.
Born to Israel and Edna Shulman of the Bronx, New York, Frank was a graduate of Bronx
Science High School. He retired from Pompano Beach Therapeutics which he ran with wife
Nicole. Frank started his working life as a baker and owner of several neighborhood bakeries
including Margie’s Cake Box in Plainfield, New Jersey. His long career as an entrepreneur
included ventures such as business advisor to Ceralink, his daughter Holly’s microwave assist
technology company, and a mobile food service business.
Frank was active in the Camphill Movement that supports a community where people with
developmental differences can live a life of dignity, equality, and purpose. He was joined in his
efforts by Nicole and inspired by the needs of their daughter Rachel. His involvement with
education included being a founding member of the Children of the Rainbow School in
Plainfield, New Jersey which was part of the alternative school movement of the 1970’s.
Frank’s commanding personality and passion for theater led him to become involved in
community theater and study acting. In retirement, as a resident of John Knox Village, he
remained active by playing bridge and singing in the men’s chorus. Frank was a voracious
reader and passionate life-long learner who loved sharing his knowledge with others. It was not
uncommon for him to read two or three books at once.
Wherever he went he built community and brought people together even across racial and class
lines. He and Nikki kept an open house for visitors and family from around the world. Frank was
part of the Unitarian Universalism religious movement and active in political organizing activities
with best friends Bob and Patty Bender.
Frank genuinely liked people and enjoyed socializing. He was greatly loved and will be sorely missed.
