Obituaries : * Frank J. Subic; Fluid Kinetics Corp. Retiree

Frank J. Subic, a longtime Santa Paula resident and an avid reader, died Saturday at his home after a long battle with emphysema. He was 65.

A native of Denver, Subic grew up in Los Angeles County and moved to Santa Paula in 1961 in search of a “peaceful place to live,” said his son Neal Keven Subic of Ventura.

He served in the Navy during the Korean War and later worked at Fluid Kinetics Corp. in Ventura, where he drew mechanical parts for oil refineries, his son said.

Since retiring in 1990, Subic had spent a lot of time at a vacation home in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.

Two days prior to his death, he celebrated his 65th birthday with a toast of champagne, his son said.

In addition to his son Neal, he is survived by his wife of 35 years, Coy Annette Subic of Santa Paula; another son, Niles Martin Subic of Ventura; two grandchildren and two daughters-in-law.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the Santa Clara Valley Hospice. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Pierce Brothers Stetler Mortuary in Santa Paula.
