Frank was a veteran of the U.S. Army and was always proud of his country and service. He was also dedicated to his work with the John A. Marshall Company where he enjoyed a 30-year career serving as the Company's President and Chairman until his death. Frank was an avid golfer and long-time member of Hillcrest Country Club prior to its decline, having served as its President during 2001. At Hillcrest, he was co-founder of the "Dog Pack" - a fun loving group of degenerate gamblers who formed life-long friendships with one another despite their regular arguments. Frank was affectionately referred to as "The Dog Father" and was always in control of the group. Most importantly, Frank was dedicated to Beckie, his wife of 35 years and his family. In addition to Beckie, Frank is survived by his children, Kristina Wagner (Paul), and his son John Vrooman who will miss him dearly. "Po Po" will also be greatly missed by his beloved grand-daughters, Kaitlin, Molly, and Abbie Wagner to whom he was dedicated and loved with all his heart. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Josephine and Frank Stasi, and his brothers, Pat and Mark Stasi.
