Ferenc Szabo Obituary
into eternal life April 30, 2007 in Mesa, AZ. Frank had a full and amazing life and was fiercely loved by his family. He was born to Jozsef and Maria Szabo and was one of sixteen children.
Frank loved his homeland and in 1956 he participated in the Hungarian Revolution as a freedom fighter to fight against the Soviet occupation of Hungary. He was captured and escaped to Austria where he was picked up by the Red Cross. When asked what country he would like to go to, he recalled the cowboy movies he loved to watch and without hesitation, he said, "America." Frank thought he'd be a cowboy, but instead found his niche as a machinist. Everyone knew if it was broken, Frank could fix it. He worked for Hostess Foods in Chicago and helped to bring the first union to the company. He also loved to tell how he helped modify the factory machines to make the first Ding Dongs. He was an amazing tenor and he attended the Chicago Conservatory of music. Frank loved to sing at the Hungarian Club in Chicago, and later in Tucson. Later in life, he took comfort in his family and loved to cook for his children. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, and is survived by Maria, his loving wife of forty years, whom he met at Phoenix' Calderon Ballroom; his six wonderful children, Jozsef, Franciska (and husband Margo), Maria, Ida (and husband Brian), Erzsebet (and husband Chris), and Zsuzsa. He also has eleven gorgeous grandchildren, Sandor, Krisztofer, Nickolas, Joseph, Gabriella, Matthew, Gabor, Tibor, Allison, Amber and Brandon. We love you apuka! You will always be with us! Family and friends are invited to a visitation from 6-8pm Thursday, May 3rd at Messinger Mortuary, 7601 E. Indian School Rd., Scottsdale. A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30am Friday at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 3801 N. Miller Rd., Scottsdale. Graveside services will immediately follow at Paradise Memorial Gardens, 9300 E. Shea Blvd., Scottsdale.

Hi Papa, I´m having a good week. I finished my math class early! I think I was the first to finish early in the class. I passed the class with a 90! It made me happy that I was able to do that. It´s almost March and spring break. College is flying by. I love you!

Hi Papa I love you. I´m on winter break right now. I transferred to ASU from Uofa. I´m happier to be back at home. Today was a great day. Went Christmas shopping with Gabor and Zsofia for gifts for mom and dad. Then later went with the family to a Korean barbecue place by Dobson and Main. It reminded of the street right in front of uofa in Tucson. At this barbecue place you cook the meat at the table. It was good but I´m not a big fan of Asian food. My favorite is Mexican. I wish you and Nana were here to enjoy Christmas with the family. I love and miss you.

Holy cow dad!!! So much I would like to tell you!! I know you are looking down from Heaven watching your grandkids grow up and isn't it just amazing. It seems like just yesterday I was on the phone with you planning for the summer of 2007 when I would visit with the kids. We never made it to that summer, but I wonder what we would have done. I miss you every day. I wish I had someone to talk to. But, can you see all the excitement of the past year with our family in Hungary? Are you impressed with my Hungarian? I hope you are proud. I really wish I would have learned more as a child. I love you.

Hey Dad! I was just looking up recipes for Thanksgiving dessert, and of course, it made me think of you! We miss you so much dad, but you should know we still do Thanksgiving just like you did!

Szia Apuka! Azt hiszem, vidám szinte már 5 éve. Ön eljött hozzám álmomban néhány hónappal ezelott, és azt tettem, amit mondtál csinálni. Az biztos, tette hatalmas változást hozott az életembe! Mindannyian nagyon boldogok :-) gondoltam az utolsó hívást, és örülök, hogy mi volt lezárva. Szeretem és hiányozni fogsz. Tudom, láthatjuk, milyen nagy és csodálatos minden gyerek lett! Szóval büszke rájuk!

Hi Apuka!
Training for a half marathon and think of you when I am running. I downloaded some Vicki Carr, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. songs....music from the good old days in Tucson. Love you and miss you so much. I could just hear you saying, "Oh, you kidding me?? Running a half marathon, I use to run marathons all time in Hungary!"LOL
September 20, 2009
Hi Apuka!
Just thinking of you today! I met a Hungarian lady that works in Flagstaff doing what I do. She laughed so hard hearing stories about you and your sense of humor and hospitality. I'll never know anybody like you again, Daddy. Miss you.

Hi Apuka!
Just thinking of you a lot today.
I remember being on Revere and mom was working at the hospital on New Year's, and you wanted to surprise her with a party when she got off work. We made soooo much food, and you called it a "smorgasboard". I miss you so much. If you were here, I'd make you anything you want to eat. I love you so much dad. Please watch over mom and the rest of us in 2009. We love you so.

Hi Daddy!
I just found a beautiful picture of you and Gabor that I forgot I had! You look so happy, and Gabor looks so excited to be near you. I miss you so much, and I hope you could hear me screaming when the Hungarians won the gold in water polo at the Olympics! I wish you were here for this year's election too, dad. It's going to be soooo good! It just won't be the same not having you here to debate with.
I love you, and think of you all the time. You know that.

As you know, Zsofia was born today!! She looks so much like Ida! (Which also means she looks so much like you!)
She has the Szabo chin, thick curly black hair, and green eyes!!! She is beautiful daddy! Ida misses you so much, and she wishes you were here to hold her. I know you are here in spirit, and I guess that will just have to do for us. I love you so much dad. I long for the time I can see you again.
Love,
Erzsebet

Hi Apuka,
As you know, Zsuzsa is here for a visit! We are going to dinner tonight, and I just know we'll be talking about you, and how much you loved to eat! (We're going for Italian though, sorry, I know it wasn't your favorite!)
I miss you so much. I love you, and I think of you every day.

Hi daddy!
Yesterday was Father's Day, and I'm sure you know mom and I went to see you! I hope you liked your card...the tool belt on it reminded me of you. Nothing is the same without you dad, and sometimes I feel jealous of people that still have their dad. I know I still have you in a way, but I'm selfish, and I want to hear your voice, or just get a hug from you. It's been so long since you've visited me in a dream, so maybe you could do that soon. I love you so much Apu. Don't forget us...you know we'll never forget you.

Mom, Ida and the boys are at Disney World, and I just know you made the timing that way so mom wouldn't sit around crying and thinking about you all week. I can't believe I've lived 365 days without you. When am I going to see you again? I love you so much, and I miss you even more.

Hi daddy.
Been thinking of you tons lately.
I can't believe you left us almost a year ago. Sometimes, when I feel really sad, I wish you would have stayed, but I know how sick you were. I know you are feeling great wherever you are, and I'm sure your mom is cooking up a storm for you.
I love you daddy. You are never far from my thoughts.

Hi daddy. As you know, today is my birthday! Thank you for always making me feel so special for being a Christmas baby! Today has been a little tough, I can't believe I won't hear your voice on the phone, talking about how I wouldn't open my eyes at first! Guess I was stubborn, huh? Wonder where THAT comes from. :)
Well, we're having a party at mom's tonight, so maybe you'll stop by, and we'll feel your spirit. I love you so much dad, and I think of you every single day.
Love,

November 30, 2007
Hi Apuka. Well, Thanksgiving just wasn't the same without you. It just felt like a nice dinner. We all really miss you, daddy. Mom and I were shopping yesterday, and came across those Queen Anne chocolate covered cherries you loved. Remember, I bought you two boxes for Valentine's Day this year! It made us teary, and Zsuzsa cried, remembering how much you loved those darn cherries. I'm going to leave a box for you at Christmas. I love you so much.
-Erzsebet :)
November 15, 2007
Hi Daddy! Well, Thanksgiving is a week away. I can't believe you won't be in the kitchen on Thursday, making the turkey. I am going to play your music all morning, and drink Rum and Coke, just like you always did. I hope you stop by to make sure everything's being cooked to your standards! I can just hear you giving mom a hard time! LOL :)
I hope you're having fun, whatever you're doing! Please watch over Ida's baby! I have a feeling you had something to do with it, so maybe you'll make sure it's a girl? I love you!

Happy Halloween Daddy!!!!!!!
I hope you heard me singing to you yesterday! I will never forget the Hungarian songs you taught us!
I miss you so much! Tibor dressed up a Dracula, and he looked just like you!! Remember that wonderful Halloween when we all dressed up? That was so amazing, and I'm so happy we were all there to share it with you. Thanksgiving's coming up soon, so I hope you'll be here to help mom make your stuffing! We're going to church on Sunday, and they are going to say a special prayer for you, since you went back to your mom, dad, and brothers and sisters this year. I love you Apuka. Please don't forget about us, because we sure will never forget about you.

That means more to me than anything in my life. I love you so much, and I miss hearing your voice on the phone every day. I still talk with your accent, and I don't ever want to forget it.

Hi Apu!!
Well, yesterday was another yucky Monday. Everyone was thinking of you, and we all called mom crying. Sometimes I think you must be coming by at those times, because we all simultaneously think of you! Chris was fixing my car door and mirror last night, and I so wanted to call you to tell you how much you've taught him. I'm so thankful you took him under your wing dad. Tomorrow is Independence Day! Remember when we went to see that movie Independence Day on the 4th of July? That was so fun. You loved going to the movies, and eating all that damn popcorn! I wish you could be here tomorrow to help Brian barbecue. I guess we'll just have to settle for the breeze, or touch we've felt on our arms.....we know it's you daddy. I love you so much, and miss you more every day.
Love,
Erzsebet :)
June 18, 2007
Hi Daddy!!! I'm sorry I didn't get to write in here yesterday. As you know, it was Father's Day. We missed you so much yesterday. I hope you like the cards we left for you. I wish you were here to barbecue for us. I can't believe you weren't here to laugh with, and you weren't here for me to give you your Tsar cologne. I hope you came by to Gabor and Tibor's birthday party on Saturday. It sure wasn't the same without you. It's comforting though that Tibor looks so much like you. He has your big ears, and your crooked smile. Chris was putting batteries in a toy for him, and he just kept watching what Chris was doing. He's just like you, always trying to figure out how something works. We miss you so much dad, but we know you're in heaven, laughing and eating with your family. Just stop by and visit now and again, okay? Thanks, little buddy! :)
Love,

Hi Apu. We've all really been thinking of you today. You left us on a Monday, and since then, they've become the hardest day of the week. Franny and I were just talking about you. She really needs you today. Maybe you could come visit her in her dreams tonight. Zsuzsa graduates on Friday! I know you'll be there, smiling and cheering her on! We all love you so much! I hope you can hear me when I talk to you! (Otherwise I'm just a bolondlany!)

I've really been thinking of you today. I miss you so much. Sometimes it overwhelms me. I just want to get one more hug from you. I'm baking you a chocolate cake for your birthday on Monday. I hope you stop by. We'll be playing csardas music for you. I love you so much.

I first met Mr. Szabo through the larger-than-life stories of one of his daughters. When I finally met him face to face, I found him to be every bit the man she spoke of. He leaves a great legacy - a family whose characterstics are passion, love, commitment to duty and a heart for their heritage. May the Peace of the Lord be with you.
