Nolan Frizzelle (1921-2013)

The Sacramento Bee is reporting that former Assemblyman Nolan Frizelle died at his home in Folsom last weekend. A Marine veteran from the second world war, Frizzelle served in the Assembly for six terms before the 1990s redistricting forced him into the same district as Assemblywoman Doris Allen, who he lost to in the primary that year.

Frizzelle is survived by wife Ina and his six children; Roger, David, Diane, Robert, Sabina and Timothy.
