Frank Shumack Obituary
Frank Shumack Jr., 71, of Hunlock Creek, passed away peacefully Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023, at home, surrounded by his family.
He was born Oct. 6, 1951, to the late Frank and Dorothy Shumack.
Frank graduated from Vo-Tech/Greater Nanticoke Area. He worked at Inter Metro for 52 years before retiring in 2021. Frank was a workaholic, as providing for his family was the top priority to him.
He married the love of his life, Alexis Lapinski Shumack, on May 20, 1978. They were looking forward to celebrating their 45th anniversary this May. "I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas, I'm a fool, fool, fool for you."
Frank had a heart of gold and was over-generous to anyone he considered a friend or family. He devoted his time and energy into anything his children embraced. Being a "PopPop" held a special place in his heart.
Old country westerns were his favorite shows, followed by football. During the summer months, Frank would be in his garden looking for the perfect big girl tomato to smother in Hellmann's. He shared the same passion as his father for hunting and fishing. His footprints can be found alongside his father's throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, for they were always together. His love for boats didn't stop with fishing, for he also loved to water ski.
Frank was a dedicated and loving husband, father and grandfather (PopPop).
As an only child, he was preceded in death by his doting parents, Frank and Dorothy Shumack.
Frank will be missed beyond words by his wife, Alexis Shumack; son, Frank Shumack III; daughter, Alex Rosengrant and husband, Derek; and two grandchildren, Tyler and Maria (his Mariezie) Rosengrant.
Following Frank's wishes, there will be no visitation hours. A private family funeral will be held.
The family would like to say "special thanks" to nurse Rhiannon, a very special, caring professional.
Arrangements are by Curtis L. Swanson Funeral Home Inc., state Routes 29 and 118, Pikes Creek.
