RIP Frank Gorey

1928-2019

Lucille Ball’s chauffeur for nearly 30 years, Frank Gorey started working for Lucille in October of 1959 and was with her for the rest of her life. Among his responsibilities were taking Lucie and Desi Jr. to school and taking her mother Dede shopping. Interestingly, he was on the set for the filming of “Lucy Meets the Mustache,” the final “Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” where Lucy pretended to be a chauffeur. He also became the “major domo” who ran Lucy’s Beverly Hills home. 

In 2005 he hosted the LucyTown Tours in Jamestown during Lucy’s Birthday weekend.
