My name is john(jack) Coyle and my family, and my older brother Tommy were blessed to have known Frank. We were lucky enough to have moved into the St. Helena, Fernwood Park neighborhood when the family moved from Ireland to Chi Town. None of us in the family knew a damn thing about American football and quite honestly, it was not our futbol, but thanks to Frank and his coaching ability Tommy and I became pretty good at the yanks game. Tommy became captain at Br, Rice H.S, and the U of M. Not bad for an immigrant and this was only possible because of Frank. My father loved Frank and his father, they did travel to M'S games over the 4 yrs Tommy  played and I was lucky enough to be on some of them, As a son, I will not tell the stories my father, Frank and his father talked about, but they were funny and not stories you tell your mom. God Bless Frank, a south sider champion. John Coyle 

Coaching freshmen football with Frank was a special time in my life. Frank was not only a great guy but a awesome father

I failed to mention that each man(my father, Frank and his father) were what used to be called "A mans Man".  When together though, they were kids playing together. The laughter, the jokes and the stories they told are memories to last a life time> Jack Coyle

Thanks to everyone who shared a memory or a note for our dad.  They all meant a lot to us.
The Klutch kids

Reading these memories is a walk into the past. The Klutcharch Family has always been special to our family. Rest In Peace, Frank

No one could have asked for better next-door neighbors than you and Joan! The caring and friendship you showed to me and my family for 60 years is amazing. I cherish all of the kindnesses and memories of you and your wonderful family. I will miss that you were always next-door and ready to listen or to help in any way. Rest peacefully, dear friend.

Coach Klutch,  thanks for all your coaching and support at St Helena and BRHS. You taught football fundamentals and toughness to your players. May God bless you and watch over your beautiful family and players.

He was more than a Brother to me. He was a great FRIEND. May you Rest in Peace with Joanie forever. Hail to the King. 

So sorry to hear this my prayers are with everyone in the family may he rest in peace

Thank you coach!
Your "suggestion" that Tom Coyle and the other St. Helena guys go to Rice helped me get a scholarship (I played next to Tom Coyle)
Coach Klutch was tough. Playing next to Tom Coyle and Denny Driscoll was easy.
RIP

RIP Coach Klutch.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your father and I coached together for several years. I enjoyed every minute we spent together. He was a great influence on me in my future. What a great guy . He will always remain in my thoughts. Please take care under the present situation

On behalf of the Coyle family, we are all very saddened by your loss. Four of us were lucky enough to have been coached by Frank. My family was lucky enough to have become friends with Frank and his father. My father and Frank and the father would play poker together and for four yrs, would spend football weekends up at Go Blue to watch Tommy play. A very sad time indeed. Jack Coyle

Frank coached me at St Helena and freshman year at Brother Rice where I saw him as an excellent coach and a better man! He and his family will be in my prayers, God Bless!

Frank, you were a tough couch and a great motivator! Can’t remember how many times I heard you yell your motivating phrases, directed at me, but I know they worked at the time.  Thanks for caring about us at St. Helena’s and at Brother Rice! 

Dear Steve and family,
I hope you all can be comforted by memories of your Dad. 
Rest in peace Coach Klutch !
Warm regards,
Mark Veldman

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.

Love to all the Klutcharch family.  My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone.

Will cherish forever very fond memories!  Best one is when Gerry and gals did not get Thanksgiving turkey dinner out on time.  It was hilarious!  Frank, Tom and your brother Jim were none to happy and poking fun at the gals.   One of the best holidays ever!!!  Sorry, yet a good memory
 
Love,  Mary
