Francis Alvin Nault

What better way to celebrate and honor the life of Frank Nault than to share the memories of him that are carried by his family and friends?

Life is a beautiful gift and Uncle Fran was an example of living that way.

Good hearted and dear man. My hero.

He taught me how to be a better husband and a better man.

Outstanding man of integrity and honor.

He loved to go fishing and he sure loved to eat fish!

He was my rock that I knew I could always count on to be there for me.

Such a handsome man.

He gave me the courage to be who I am and the wisdom and strength to fly high.

He was the best boss we could have had. He was always there for us.

He was such a class act. As dashing as Errol Flynn with a heart as warm as Jimmy Stewart. I'll always remember him with a twinkle in his eye and that pipe in his mouth.

You can't love deeply without sometimes hurting deeply. Such is the case of having lost Uncle Fran today. But having him in my life is worth every single tear.

He always wanted you girls. He was so proud of you!

We're celebrating the life of an exceptional man!

I never knew life without Frank. He was my sweetheart and my lifelong love.

Everything Grandpa did was motivated by the deep, deep love he had for his family.

The twinkle in his eye and grin on his face. His wicked and very dry sense of humor.

He honored, cherished, and loved our Mother, setting an example for us all.

He was an exceptional role model.

I thought about Frank's goodness and kindness to everyone. He was a wonderful man.

Francis Alvin Nault was born in Niagara, Wisconsin, on September 29, 1925, to parents Arthur Joseph Nault and Laura Mary Morin Nault. Frank married his high school sweetheart Ardys Esther Anderson in Neenah, Wisconsin, on May 3, 1947, following his service in the U.S. Army's Second Infantry Division Signal Corps during World War II. They recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. Frank was a pioneer in early television, working for NBC in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He then went to Ampex Videotape Corporation, and retired from there in the late 1980s as Southwest Regional Sales Manager.

Frank is survived by his beloved wife Ardys; his two daughters Renee Marie Nault and Cynthia Ann Weisz; his two sisters, Jeanette Kraus and Cecile Evansen; four grandchildren, Chad Nathan Huffhines, Robert Francis Schott, Jason Scott Weisz, and Elisa Marie Weisz Lea; and five great-grandchildren, Hayden and Brylee Weisz, Preston Huffhines, and Tyler and Lexie Lea; and 20 nieces and nephews.

Godspeed dear husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. You are deeply missed.
