Frank Joseph Burich

He was born January 14, 1954, as son of the late James H. and Elizabeth Burich.

Frank was a graduate of Jefferson-Morgan High School and the Greene County Career and Technology Center where he taught for 26 years as the auto body instructor enjoying building lasting relationships with his students. Frank worked independently for over 40 years and co-owned Burich Brothers Body Works with his brother, Mark.

He was a creative, ingenious, and kind soul who believed in living life exactly how you want to live it. Frank was passionate about training horses, running his farm, hunting, and spending time with his wife and loved ones. He built, repaired and beautified the world around him, and touched the lives of many through his teaching and friendship.

Frank is survived by friends and family who adored him, including the love of his life, Carol; two daughters, Renee (Erik) Coccia, and Stephanie Burich (and fiancé Tom Slowikowski); a new grandson, Glenn Joseph Coccia, and three siblings, Jim (Mary) Burich, Linda (Mike) Zeglen, and Mark (Michelle) Burich. Funny, hard-working and incredibly brave, Frank will be forever missed.
