Frank L. August died the weekend of Nov. 8.

He was born in Ohio and graduated from the Ohio State University School of Architecture.

The summer prior to his graduation he came to Laguna Beach and worked for an architect here. He loved Laguna and returned in December 1961, again working for a local firm.

In 1965 he moved to Copenhagen and worked for a well-known architect there. Upon returning to the U.S. in 1967, he briefly joined Wooster, Bernardi & Emmons in San Francisco, but was asked to come back to the area to practice.

He joined Riley & Bissell and after Riley’s retirement partnered with George Bissell to form Bissell/August. The firm became a major architectural firm in Orange County with offices in Newport Beach.

August served in the U.S. Army and in the reserves.

He is survived by his son Matthew C. August and seven grandchildren.
