I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. We went to elementary & high school together in Chicago, and though I haven't seen him in decades, I remember him well. He was a great guy then and I'm sure that continued right up until he left this world. My deepest condolences to his family & friends.

To the Bjork Family, April 29, 2014
Our deepest sympathies and condolences are extended to all of you. Personally, I knew Frank for a very long time. From his high school years, to his years of playing baseball for the Pequads and the Chiefs,our college days at Chicago State University where he excelled in baseball and basketball as well, Frank always was a role model and a class act.
Our many years together at Bogan Driver Education were also filled with the same mutual respect, admiration and close bond of friendship. Frank was a terrific man, with the same wonderful attitude and personality to match. It was a true honor and privilege to have been his friend for so many years.
We have lost an absolutely wonderful man.
May you rest in peace my friend.
With deepest sympathies to Pam his wonderful wife and his family.

I knew him as Mr. Bjork. He was my gym teacher all throughout grammar school. He was a great teacher and so much fun. I'm so sad to hear about this. I will always remember him as a great teacher who really cared about his students. My condolences to his family. I know he will be missed.

You have my deepest sympathy. May the God of loyal love comfort the family during your time of sorrow. Psalm 119:76

April 27, 2015

With deepest sympathy to the Bjork family during your time of grief. God is for you a refuge and strength. A help that is there to be found during difficult times. May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.

April 27, 2015

I only know Frank through our friends Joe and Kate Terrell (Frank's daughter). The few times we spent with him before he got sick were very enjoyable. I remember he made me laugh. And the Bjorks have always made me feel welcome. The Bjork family has lost a huge part of itself. There will forever be a void that was Frank. Please know in your sorrow that you will be prayed for by many, loved by more and most of all that one day you will meet him again in our heavenly home. God bless you all.
