I loved hanging out with him so much and going to his house. I wished I had a longer time with him and that we could hang out even more. I realized that I don't have much time left so I cherished every moment with him. Seeing him sad made me sad and I always wanted to make him happy. I have so many great memories and I will be seeing him at some point. I love you, Papa.

I would always go to his house and hang out with him for hours. It was so much fun being his granddaughter and I am so sad that he passed away. I am so happy I found this page about him because it makes me happy that he is remembered by all. I love you, papa.

I was just now thinking about you and Frank when I came across his obituary. I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember your friendship and support for my mom, especially after my dad died. I will contact you in the coming days when things calm down a bit for you.

Fondly,
Sue Angelacos (Dahlquist)

Aunt Mardell, Linda, & Randy, There are no words that can take away the pain of losing such a wonderful husband and father. However, rejoice in the wonderful memories of a man who was all about family, compassion, kindness, a great sense of humor, friendship, and most importantly a man that filled the world with his love. I was fortunate enough to have him as "My Uncle" and I dearly loved him all my life. I will always miss him, however, my memories of him from childhood through the present are filled with nothing but joy and happiness. God bless you all and "thank you Uncle Frank" as you were one of a kind. May you now find eternal peace and happiness that you so well deserved. Love, Robbie

Randy, Mardell and family.

Our sincere condolences. I've known Frank for a number of years and recall his pleasant demeanor whenever we would see each other. Most of the time it was at the Rolling Meadows Court House. He would always take the time to say hello and make small talk.
Jo and I will remember him, as well as you and yours in ours prayers.
