Today we are learning of the passing of Wood County Delegate J. Frank Deem. Delegate seemed served 48 non-continuous years in the WV Legislature having been first elected to the WV House in 1954. He served a State Senator and Delegate during his time in the Legislature. He was a proud supporter of Republican principals and approached issues with a no-nonsense approach. He will be greatly missed and we mourn his passing.
