L-3 Communications' Frank Lanza Dies Suddenly at 74

摘要

Frank C. Lanza, who co-founded L-3 Communications and built it to a multibillion-dollar defense contracting company, died suddenly June 6 at the age of 74. Lanza was remembered fondly last week by some of his closest colleagues as a serious man — an influential figure in the aerospace industry who was passionately devoted to his work. Robert LaPenta, who had worked closely with Lanza since 1972 and co-founded L-3 with him in 1997, remembered that Lanza rarely took a vacation and hated people who played golf.
