Frank Gould passed away last week after a nine year battle with lung cancer.

Gould, 60, was the owner of the Gould’s Diamonds and Jewelry, which he operated first in Two Harbors starting in 1978 and later moved to Anoka in the late 1980s. Gould died in the early morning of Thursday, Nov. 5 at his Champlin home, which he shared with wife Cynthia.
