Shirley,

I'm so very sorry to hear about Frank.  I just found out.  I remember when Nina and I visited you years ago and you and Frank were so cordial and inviting.  You named your cat Nina that we gave you, remember ?  My dear wife Nina passed away a month after Frank.
I know the pain and sorrow.  My prayers to you, Heather, Hunter -- and Frank.

Was able to enjoy Frank and Shirley’s company through out the last several years either at a Class reunion function or running into them at Skyline.  They always brought a smile and a laugh wherever they went.

I have known Frank since 7th grade. He was the nicest kindest person. We always teased each other from 7th grade through  our adult years.  Jim & I will miss him. Rest in peace  Frank.

To Facebook, our chats on the phone, to a bear hug  every year at our holiday party you will be sorely missed. For over 40 years we kidded with each other.  But you always bested me with your color full portrayals of everything from travel, family, and Safe Air. There was never a dull moment. 
My memory goes way back buddy.  My Mother heaped praises about you every time you came over and fixed her plumbing.
She told me you left the room cleaner then ever.
Plus she enjoyed conversations with you afterwards.
You did not miss a beat either when you went with the guys on our so called golf outings. You had us laughing through the roof.
Yes you were one of a kind in our generation. Rest in Peace.

Frank was a kind soul with a great sense of humor and family… I’ve known him since Taylor elementary … we connected at a reunion and he and Shirley met up with my husband Rick over last few years …he was a very special person who will be missed be all who had privilege of being his friend.. i can still hear him say to me as a teenager always combing my hair- “hey your hair’s messed up” 
Sincere condolences to his sweet Shirley and the family ❤️
RIP sweet Frank, gone way too soon

I am so sad to see this, I worked with Frank from 1985 till his retirement, starting in the powertrain division. He was always a jovial spirit and definitely marched to his own drummer. Long days in bad working conditions were shortened when he was around. Wether it was a maple syrup or a newfangled mousetrap discussion we always enjoyed our days. Rest peacefully my friend until we meet again. God bless you and your family.

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your Family Pops.  I'm so blessed to have a Father-in-law that always made me feel comfortable, loved, and appreciated.   Your help was incalculable in fixing our various plumbing fiascos and I learned a lot from you about country living maintenance.   I will miss watching the Browns games with you or sharing a beer whenever possible.  I'm so glad we got to go to Italy together and you were around to see the Grandkids grow up.  I promise to instill your jovial spirit into their personalities, and I'll make sure they're familiar with your brand of Dad jokes.  Our family will miss you terribly, but your spirit will live on forever in our hearts.  

You will always be my brother. Our times together were all memorable from a Rolling Stones concert in Cleveland to a baseball game at the newly opened Jacobs Field to a Cleveland Brown's game vs Cincinnati to a night at a comedy club in the flats to fabulous breakfasts to watching you marry Shirley to your kids being born to riding our motorcycles to Chris and my  wedding to the blues festival in Kitchener to shopping in Cleveland. 
Chris and I love you and will miss you. So you see you are firmly and fondly in our memories.
Wayne and Chris Reid

Frank will be dearly missed 💔 by everyone who loved and shared his friendship in our Chardon Kiwanis Club.  He loved his wife, his children and grandchildren so very much and proudly talked about them often at our meetings. My prayers 🙏 go out to his family. May he rest in peace. He was a great man.





This was a terrible shock to all who knew and loved Frank.  He was a wonderful caring person with one terrific sense of humor.  He will definitely be missed.  We can only hope to retain Frank's memories in our hearts forever.  Much love and sympathy to all of his family and friends.
Joyce and Ed Lerman
