Frank J. Greenfield

Frank Greenfield, born November 3, 1950, passed away surrounded by his family on February 1, 2022 following a short battle with cancer. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio to Philip and Shirley Greenfield. He was the oldest of four children.

Frank attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, graduating in 1972 with a business degree. The following year, he married his college sweetheart, Melanie Hedges. They settled in Ohio where Frank started his career with Sears. Their two children, Joshua and Carli, were born while they were living in Cleveland.

In 1986, the family moved to Atlanta where Frank began a twenty year career with Home Depot. He was a fierce racquetball player and an avid golfer. He often traveled to compete in racquetball tournaments across the country.

Frank was a devoted husband, father and grandfather (Papa G). He attended and cheered on his kids and grandkids at their activities. He was an amazing big brother to his three younger sisters.

He was known for his sense of humor and love of music, but the most important thing to him was family. He never missed a family event and cherished time with his large, extended family as well. #familyiseverything
