Kernville, California
Oct 26, 1932 – Dec 23, 2002 (Age 70)
Frank entered life on October 26, 1932 in the state of Minnesota. Frank rolled up his sleeves and headed to Heaven on December 24, 2002 from his home in Kernville, Ca. (he loved living there) . A mans man, Frank loved his family, Wife Elaine Delorme, Daughter Yvonne (Delorme) Lenahan, Daughter Dorothy (Delorme) LeClair & friends. Seemed like anyone that met Frank, took a liking to this man. . Came out to California in 1957, found work and asked his bride and children to follow months later. Started his own business and invited his brothers to join him in a successful undertaking close of 40 years in the tunneling business. . Frank loved his Tunnel & Excavating Company, Delorme Constructors and was very talented in many fields and he enjoyed making things with his hands, anywhere from buildings/additions, cabinets and furniture, loved doing craft work with any material. His love of fishing though out his lifetime is known by all. Frank loved sports, especially football and followed USC College football with a passion.... . Frank is missed by many, loved by those who knew him.
It´s always a sad day on this anniversary. So many memories of you Frank, seems they are blurred more and more as the years pass. Doesn´t feel like the time has gone by of 22 years, the reality seems like a blink. Well Frank, you´re missed and loved...

Oh how I (we, Yvonne & I) miss going up to Kernville to you and your brides home. We had so much fun "every time" we visited and we´d do it as often as it was so relaxing. Going fishing at the lake or just walking down to the Kern River. Coming back, cleaning the fish and having a wonderful fish fry. Relax and then get cleaned up and head to the bar to listen to bands, dance and have a few drinks (or3,4,5,6,7...heh) Well Frank, we never forget your day of coming to live on earth and miss you...

The family is saddened by today´s date, passing of Frank, sudden without warning. Elaine & Frank were getting ready to come stay with us for the Christmas holiday and we got a call from Yvonne´s Mom telling us Frank was taking to a hospital in Bakersfield. We left immediately to go there. Frank, it´s with much sadness that we weren´t able to say goodbye to you and miss you and your bride on this Christmas season. Our love will never hinder....you are both missed

We always enjoyed our visits and outings with you both, but that Christmas week was absolutely wonderful.
You & I took a little road trip while the girls went shopping to locations that I never saw and a few that you never saw. That was such an enjoyable day we had Frank, shooting the breeze and taking in some amazing views on that short...
