Frank Call Obituary
Worcester - Frank Jeffrey Call "Jeff", 56, of Worcester died tragically early on January 9, 2016 after being struck by a hit and run driver. He leaves a sister, Sandra Allen and her husband Steve of Florida, two brothers, Timothy Call and wife Linnia of Wisconsin and James Call of Colorado. He also leaves a niece Jaime Channin, and nephews, Jason Channin and his wife Brandy, and Ryan Channin of Colorado, and Tyler Call of Wisconsin, a great niece Maggie Channin, and great nephew Kayin Williams of Colorado, and his very good friends the Carbonneau family of Worcester, Massachusetts. He was the son of the late Frank R. Call and Barbara C. Call of Colorado. He will be missed by many.
Jeff worked as a security guard at Worcester Regional Transit Authority. He enjoyed his job and was liked and respected by his coworkers.
Spending time with his niece, nephews and great niece and nephew always brought him smiles and happiness. He loved to tell funny family stories and make people laugh. He was a kind and gentle soul with a big heart. He was the best uncle, neighbor and friend to everyone who knew him, and always friendly and helpful to a stranger and those who barely knew him. He was an avid Star Trek fan. He was always a kid at heart and just liked to have fun with the people he loved.
O'Connor Brothers funeral home is assisting the family with arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Red Cross at www.redcross.org, in memory of Jeff.

I´m going to UMass today for the 6th time and I was going to ask for you. That´s where I would always see you & I´d hoped u were still working there. At 6am Mike messaged me & out of the clear blue told me what happened. I´m so sorry that happened to you. I will miss seeing your smiling face at the hospital.
Rest In Peace my friend.

Uncle Jeff,
My heart weighs heavy and words simply cannot describe my grief. I cherish all of the memories with you over the course of my life. Blowing up army men, building models, playing video games, all our epic dart games, and most recently our conversations on Thursdays. I'm so thankful you were able to come to Colorado and be a part of my wedding and to spend time with Maggie, Brandy, and I this fall. We miss you terribly. It makes me smile to know how many lives you touched and how many people love you as much as we do.
-your little buddy

jeff you will always have a place in my heart i miss you very much and my heart still hurts. i visit you in my dreams every night. i have always had fun together and i will never forget the great times we had growing up.

Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief there was great love. Jeff words cannot express the heaviness in my heart at having you taken from us. I am thankful for the times we were able to spend together over the past few years and especially this past November in Colorado. When we parted company then you kissed me on the cheek which you never did. I could never have imagined that would be a final goodbye. I will miss you forever little brother and loved you so much. Its a comfort to know you had so many friends who loved and cared for you.
Your little big sister

A kind and gentle soul has left so many broken hearts. My own favorite memories of Jeff are from the family Christmas parties we've had through the years. Our family enjoyed his company and his laughter. Jeff was a wonderful, good man. Jeff, you will be loved and remembered for the laughter and happiness you gave to your family and countless friends. Sandy, I love you and my heart is filled with sorrow. There are no words I can give you to ease the pain. I am here for you to talk when you need me. He loved his family so much. Tim, James, Jason, Jaime and Ryan, I am so sorry. Your family remains in my prayers. Love, Susan

January 13, 2016
Uncle Jeff your love and your life was and always will be a gift to me. I remember you playing with me, spoiling me, taking me places, all the sleepovers (in the fish room), visiting you on weekend trips home from college and playing pool (you taught me how to play), eating grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate chip pancakes at your house, going to the mall, pigging out at Wright's Farm, going to see the one and only Star Wars movie I have seen with you, going to look at Christmas lights in the mini van, getting pizza together, getting mad at you when u pushed me in the pool at mom's house after the wedding (couldn't really be too mad though), and I will never forget when Kayin fell asleep in your arms (you were so proud). I will never forget the gift shop in the airport in Florida and the gifts you bought Kayin and I. Most recently, I will cherish sharing coffee and conversation with you in my car, hanging out with you for a night cap in the hotel after Jason's wedding and you telling me that funny story about Mom and the three of us cracking up laughing. I will always have these memories close in my heart. All you did was try to make me smile. I'm going to be a better woman in my daily life for you so that your passing will never be in vain. I will be changed forever because of this. I ask God to spoil you in heaven. I love you always. Hugs and kisses from your niece.
January 13, 2016
Thank you Jeff for sharing part of yourself with me. You were always understanding and patient with me.
