Frank was born on October 18, 1943 in Runge, Texas the son of Frank and Frances (Jendry) Dworaczyk.

After graduating Yorktown High School, Frank attended Victoria College and attained his First Class Radio Operators License. Frank was employed by ATT for 35 years as a communications technician in offices in Victoria, Austin and Yorktown, Texas. He retired in 1999. Frank also worked in farming on a part-time basis, lending support to his widowed mother with the family farm beginning in 1967.

Frank’s hobbies included music, coastal fishing, deer hunting, playing 42, dancing, gardening and camping on the Frio River with extended family. He played guitar and led singing at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Yorktown, TX and St Peter and Paul Church in Meyersville, Tx. He also periodically played and sang at the Yorktown Nursing Home. After moving to Bryan, Tx in 2012, Frank served as a volunteer to help maintain the butterfly garden in Camelot Park. On his daily walks, he would weed and water this volunteer garden. He also served his homeowners association, helping to get it established and serving as its first president and then continuing to serve in other offices on the board. Frank was active at St Joseph Catholic Church, attending Adoration Chapel weekly, serving as a Eucharistic Minister at two assisted living centers and, more recently, serving as a sacristan. A highlight of Frank’s spiritual life was going on a pilgrimage to Medjugorge in the 80’s where he had the honor of playing for a Mass at St James Catholic Church in the room in which Our Lady is said to have appeared to the 6 young visionaries. After retirement, Frank and his wife enjoyed trips to the northeast for fall colors, to the Maine coast, to the northwestern US and to Banff, Canada. They also greatly enjoyed 2 Alaskan cruises.

Frank is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Eugene Dworaczyk; and sisters, Margaret Brysch and Lorraine Dworaczyk.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia Dworaczyk; son and daughter-in-law, James and Dawn Dworaczyk; sisters and brothers-in-law, Theresa and Victor Warwas, Patricia and Ray Barton; grandchildren, Abigail Dworaczyk and Dylan Dworaczyk.

The family wishes to extend their deep gratitude to the Traditions Health Hospice Staff for their specialized care and expertise that constantly guided the informed care we were able to provide for our loved one to maintain his comfort.
