Francis Michael Misinco, 74, of Bethlehem, passed away Wednesday, July 7, 2021. He was the loving husband of 45 years to Margaret Mary (Kehs) Misinco. Born in Bethlehem, he was the son of the late Francis P. “Frank” and Arlene (Kiefer) Misinco.
Francis grew up in the Lower Saucon area and was a 1965 graduate of Hellertown-Lower Saucon High School. He served in the U.S. Army from September 1965 to September 1967, stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia. He retired from Mail-Well, Inc. in 2001 after 28 years of service, and then worked 11 years for Environmental Services at St. Luke's University Hospital-Bethlehem, where to this day he remains a legend of the ER.
He was a member of Holy Infancy Catholic Church in Bethlehem. Francis enjoyed fishing and gardening in his spare time, as well as cooking, talking with friends and neighbors, dog sitting his granddog Ziggy, and spending time with his family, including his beloved granddaughter, Sophia, who brought him much joy the last few years. He was a TV aficionado and was into extreme couponing long before it became a fad. He detested robocalls with a passion and looks forward to no longer receiving them.
Francis was the hardest worker, but also extremely humble. He would hate any fuss being made over him (likely including this obituary) and was always more concerned about everyone else around him. His strength and toughness through adversity was truly unmatched. Stubborn until the end, he refused to give in to any limitations and kept on going as long as he could. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
