Richard Stephen Frankel, age 77, passed away on March 25, 2020. He was a devoted husband of 55 years, proud father, and loving grandfather. He started his business career in Chicago in 1964, running a family owned business.
He is survived by his wife, Sheila Irene Dunn Frankel. Richard was also a loving father to Joanne Brottman (Mike), Jeff, and Peter. He had 6 grandchildren that loved every moment with their grandfather: TJ, Ashleigh, Ryan, Brooke, Vaughn, and Jackson.
Richard was sick for many years with diabetes and dementia, but he continued with his great sense of humor during the battle.
Richard loved to spend time with his children and grandchildren, from coaching baseball to playing softball, going golfing, riding horses, playing tennis, and riding his motorcycle.
His true passion was taking pictures of his wife, children, his grandchildren, and nature.
With heartfelt sorrow, he will be greatly missed.
A private burial will be in the Chicago area and a celebration of his life and memorial will be held at a future date with family and friends.
