I just heard of Frank's passing. I met Frank was I was a young boy attending, then working, at Leo Boys Club where he was a counselor. I will always remember that smile, voice and infectious enthusiasm. One of my last encounters with Frank was when I was a Senior at Leo and we crossed the field after the game to shake hands. That was almost 52 years ago and still remember it like it was yesterday:) To the Minik Family, please accept my condolences and I hope you can find comfort in the fact...

To the entire Minik family my heartfelt sympathy. He was one of the finest men i have ever known. He was a large influence in my life and pray all is well with the family

My condolences to the entire Minik Family. I had the opportunity to have Frank as a coach, at St Laurence. He had a commanding presence and an infectious smile! The world is indeed a better place having had Frank, although for far too short a time.

I knew Frank Minik from St Laurence HS. I graduated in the first class in 1965. I just remember him as a great person, who treated everyone with respect. RIP

I taught with Frank at St. Laurence in the early 70´s. We used to play Basketball before school either one on one or 3 on 3 against teachers who graduated from the other school in Indiana( St. Joe) . The competition was excessive. Frank was so energetic. He was a Great guy. My condolences. God Bess him Tom Mangan

Frank Minik was a special person to many people. Like so many other youths in Vandergrift, Pa. he was a role model, mentor, and friend. Quite simply he was our hero. May Mr. Minik rest in peace, and peace be with his family. The man was special.

Most sincere condolences to Matt and Family. The fiercest competitor, the kindest Man! R.I.P. Frank
