Richard F Pank

He is survived by his dear 93 year old sister, Sr. Jane Pank, five children: Richard Francis Pank Jr., Jane Pank Wenk, James Pank, Robert Pank, and John Pank, son-in-law Charles Wenk, daughter-in-law Krissy Pank, thirteen grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren.

Dick was born in Lakewood, Ohio on February 24,1934. After graduating from Saint Edwards High School, he enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1952. Dick met and married the late Lorraine Chancey Pank in 1955 and was his wife for 34 years before her passing in 1990. Dick retired from the United States Air Force in 1972 at the rank of Technical Sergeant (TSgt).

Dick was an honored Veteran and active member of the American Legion and VFW where he served nobly in the American Legion Honor Guard. He spent countless hours educating high school students about the meaning of Veterans Day and the proper respect for the Flag of the United States. TSgt Pank loved his country and our flag.

Our family is forever grateful for the companionship and the hard work of Charles (Chuck) Tomasello. Chuck was always there in Dick’s time of need.

Dick, your love, laughter, and ability to light up a room with your presence will be forever missed. Thank you for always being you.

A graveside ceremony for Dick will be held Monday, November 11, 2024 at 11am at Florida Memorial Gardens, 5950 US-1, Rockledge, FL 32955.
