HOUSE, Franklin D.

Age 84, of Fairfield, passed away on Saturday, November 27, 2021. He was born on October 26, 1937, in London, KY, the son of Beckham House and Lucy Greer House. He married Jacquelyn Grant on March 11, 1967. Although his death was due to COVID-19, he died of a truly broken heart having lost his only child, Rebecca Keltner, on November 1, 2021. Growing up in rural Kentucky, Frank valued family and hard work. Despite moving hours away from London to Hamilton, OH, he went home frequently to see his parents and siblings. It was a joy to ride around Laurel County with him and listen to him share memories. Frank worked at Pepsi-Cola Bottlers for 38 years before his retirement. Frank loved the Cincinnati Reds. He attended many games at Crosley Field and Riverfront

Stadium. If he was not in attendance, he was watching on

television while listening to the radio commentators. He also enjoyed University of Kentucky basketball. Frank supported Miami University as well by going to women's basketball and volleyball games. Frank was preceded in death by his daughter Becky and wife Jackie; parents Beckham and Lucy House; siblings Steve House, Lois Jean Moren, Mary Lou Hundley, Peggy Watson, Ford House, and infant Margaret House as well as other family and friends. He is survived by his twin

sister Bea (Jerry) Handley, sister Joan Yaden, son-in-law Rick Keltner, granddaughters Kylie Keltner and Andrea (Nick)

Taylor, and great-grandsons Oliver and Ziggy Taylor. Frank is remembered by many nieces, nephews, and cousins, as well as great friends from Planet Fitness.
