Miss you so much, Uncle Frank.  Love you, and think of you every day.

Hello everyone,
My memories of Uncle Frank come from a variety of places.   From Aunt Berns house to Grandmas place on the island, Jared’s graduation (seriously a fun day) and then being able to take mom down to visit.   I can’t find the picture of your two napping that I took . Haha.  Love you so much Uncle and I know you loved us kids a lot.    We’ll keep an eye on mom now; don’t you worry.   I’ll do my best    Sending much love to all and like mom says. “ God Bless”

Well Frank you did it. I asked you not to leave me alone, but you did anyway. I hope mom bawls you out when you get up there for leaving me here alone. I guess that was Gods choice. You were always sensitive to my feelings and watched over me all my life. I remember the time I was 15 and wanted to go to my first high school dance and mom said I couldn’t go alone. You stepped in and said I will go with her. You were a life saver all thru my freshmen year concerning going to my dances. My friends became your friends. 
I remember Sat nights when we were kids down in the little room and it was spit and polish time with dad. I would spit on my shoe and you would polish it. Those were the good times. 
You will always be in my heart and my prayers and I will see you when God calls me home. 
I know you are with Mom and Dad please give them a big hug from me and a big shout out to the rest of the gang and don’t forget the Morphet side of the family. 


In memory of my dearest Uncle Frank...Oh, how he loved and was loved by family and friends. Just mention his name, "Uncle Frank", and you smiled because he warmed your heart.  Kind, generous, loving, jokester, thoughtful, and prayerful man. He was everyone's favorite uncle and best friend. 
Our Georgia family remembers the visits fondly, as he and Aunt Lera passed thru on their way to Florida.  We always wanted them to stay longer (forever).

We are all saddened by his death but celebrate his life knowing he is with our heavenly Father and reunited with his  wife, brothers and sisters that have all gone before him.  
May he rest in peace .  

WE LOVE YOU UNCLE FRANK!    
Colie, Karen, Darrell and Nicole, Jamie and Colleen 

Frank was a kind, gentle, honorable man who was so accepting and considerate of others.  Frank had an amusing quiet sense of humor.  He could always make you smile.  
Of all the Timmins men, I think Frank was the gentlest and most kind of them all.   Frank was a wonderful brother in law.   It was a pleasure to know Frank. 
God bless you Frank.  I'm glad you and Lera are together again.

We love you Uncle Frank.  You were a kind man and a true Patriot. We always enjoyed your visits and our stops to see you in Ohio. I  am sorry that current circumstances kept us from being able to visit Michigan this past year but Monique, the boys and I  thought about you and prayed for you often. We take solace knowing you are reunited with Aunt Lera and all of your siblings in Heaven. Give Hugs and Kisses to Grandma Bunny for us. We will see you all again when it is our time. 

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Love Steven, Monique, Luca, and Marcus. 

So many memories, where to begin! First of all I want to say thank you Uncle Frank, for being a father figure to me when I was young. You brought us a stable living environment when things were a little unstable. You and Aunt Lera never hesitated to step in when we needed you. While miles separated us for many years, vacations in Two Harbors were one of my favs.  
When you moved to Toledo, it was so nice having you at our family get togethers. You’re witty sense of humor which some may say was ‘ornery’ was  the best part of you! You always made me laugh and smile. 
I love Uncle! Glad your back together with your pack in Heaven! Rest In Peace...

I have been incredibly fortunate to be able to have a close relationship with my GREAT Uncle Frank.  I even joked with him that I named my dog after him.  That is how I will always remember Uncle Frank.  As a jokester, with an abundance of Irish spunk and a smidge of attitude.  He was the kind of man that was compassionate, wise, and caring.  You could look into his eyes and know he was honest and true and good.   We shared a lot of Aunt Lera's cinnamon coffee cake together and shared a lot of love.  I feel like another small peice of my heart broke off and he took it with him to heaven, but if I know anything, I know that piece is in good hands with him.  I'm going to miss him, but wow am I lucky to have known him.  Thank you Uncle Frank, for sharing your love with me as I grew and treating me like I was one of your own kids or grandkids. I love you. 

Uncle Frank will be missed by everyone who knew him. Whether you knew him for an hour or for years, he touched your heart. He made everyone he met feel special and important, because he listened  and cared. He was such an important part of my life from a young girl to who I am today. He always had a joke to share and make me laugh, or wise words when I was being teased. I loved him with all my heart, and he has a permanent spot there. My family became his and he loved each one of them with that same inner glow. I am going to miss him terribly,  however he is with his beautiful wife, mom, dad and siblings. He is bringing his humor, mischievous smile, and light into heaven. 

Funeral Mass

He is survived by his sister Patricia Kirnberger and numerous nieces and nephews.


Frank is predeceased by wife of 50 years, Lera Timmins, his brothers Bill, Jim, Larry and Johnny Timmins; sisters Charlotte Kramer and Bernadine Herman.
