Remember Frank well at the Great Lakes Historical Society (Inland Seas Maritime Museum) in Vermilion. He was a devoted Board member. May he RIP!

My second dad...my heart is broken for all of you but he is now with your mom. I learned many things from Frank Samsel. He was a very hard working man. When there was an oil spill in the middle of the night, off he would go. When he got home he always had time for his family. It was a beautiful time for me to experience this amazing family.

Sorry to hear of his passing was a great business man also was a great family man he will be missed by all that knew him

May the Samsel family find peace during this difficult time.

God Bless You and Your Family! A life well spent! Glory to Jesus Christ! May Your Memory Be Eternal! Drive On!

Deepest condolences to you all at Samsel Supply

I was Barb's sorority sisters and met him several times. We had conversations that will serve me all my life. He left quite a fantastic legacy that Cleveland should never forget.
