Frank Polerecky

He was born April 10, 1919 in Chicago to Frank and Jennie (Bucowsky) Polerecky. Frank served in the United States Army Air Force during WWII. He was awarded with several ribbons and medals for his service, including the Philippine Republic Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon which he proudly wore to this day.

Frank enjoyed camping and boating. He also loved to travel and especially loved to go on cruises. When Frank wasn’t working he kept busy by either woodworking or another hobby of jewelry making. A particular specialty for him were his handcrafted bolo ties.
