McNaughton; son of the late Frank and Margaret Dudas; also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and countless friends. Born July 10, 1946, Frank literally grew up on the softball diamond at Ormsby Recreation Center. It was here in the '50s at a young age that he was nicknamed "Honus" because of his resemblance to Pirate great, "Honus" Wagner. He went on to play softball in recreational tournaments in the '60s, as well as the Central Pittsburgh and Allegheny County softball leagues in the '70s. Frank began his working career at AAA as a messenger in 1964, and held numerous management positions before retiring almost 40 years later as Member Relations Manager. His love for music and his record collection paved the way for being a local South Side DJ in the late '70s with the "Disco Kings." "Honus" returned to the softball field for a brief period in the '80s before meeting the love of his life, Rosemary, in 1990. They were married a year later, and she introduced him to Emerald Isle, NC, where they vacationed annually. He was an avid sports fan whose hobbies included golf, bowling, and dancing. Honus was always up for a card game, a good musical, or a trip down memory lane. His wife, Rosemary, called him her "song and dance" man. Friends received Thursday, 12-2 and 4-9 p.m. in THOMAS J.
