Frank Frederick Ostanski

Frank Frederick Ostanski was a loyal and loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He left this world surrounded by loved ones after a courageous battle with cancer on February 28th, 2022 at 70 years of age. His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile. Despite the pain, Frank came out a hero and stayed strong until the end.

Frank was born to the late Frank Joseph and Lorraine Ostanski, in Newark, NJ on October 19th 1951. He grew up in Kearny, NJ, went to Kearny High School and enlisted into the army at the age of 19. He served two tours in the Vietnam war as a Combat Demolition Specialist.

Frank was loved dearly by a large family. He was married to the late Margot Marsh and together with her raised their daughter, Jesse, who was his pride and joy. After Margot’s passing he took on raising Jesse and found added pride in being Pop Pop to Anthony and Michael, who adored him. He was cherished by his three younger siblings, Gary Ostanski, (late) Alan Ostanki and Carol Postel. He was revered as the “cool uncle” by Chris, Joey, Michael, Erica, Amy, Rachel, John (JJ), Jason, Alicia, and Samantha.

Frank loved his motorcycles and he loved his club. He also loved to go fishing and spending time with his grandsons. He would recall his fondest memories spent in Wildwood on family vacation and taking all the kids out to the beach.

He will be laid to rest at Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington where a private memorial service will be held.
