My dad, John Igli, grew up with Mr. Aldora in the Hungarian Colony in Old North Dayton before Mr. Aldora moved out of the colony. Steve Igli, my dad's brother, worked for Chemineer, and Mr. Aldora knew Uncle Steve very well. Mr. Aldora came to my dad's funeral last January (dad passed away December 31, 2004 at the age of 84), and he road with me in the family car because it was so cold, and I did not want Mr. Aldora driving to the church and cemetery by himself. Dad would have been so pleased that Mr. Aldora came to his funeral. Dad always spoke well of Mr. Aldora. Shortly afer my dad's funeral, Mr. Aldora sent to me a beautifl handwritten note wherein he shared some of his childhood memories he had with my dad. It was so special, and I will treasurer it forever. I visited Mr. Aldora this past December about a week before Christmas, and I took him some homemade cookies. We sat and talked for a little while. He seemed like such a gracious man. I am so glad that I got to see him again. I know he will be greatly missed.

Frank was a wonderful man who made a better way of life available to many many people as a Co-Founder of the Chemineer Corporation, which he dedicated the major portion of his life to its success. Many are so grateful for Frank's enduring persistence to excellence in whatever he became a part of, and certainly Chemineer and the many employees, past and present of Chemineer will be eternally indebted to Frank as an outstanding gentleman of many proportions who made a better way of life for many people who would not have otherwise had the great opportuntities that were offered with their employnment at Chemineer. Frank always had an unyielding passion for the success of the company and the employees and never waivered his feelings for equitable payment for a job well done. The Lord will be so pleased with his accomplishments in his 89 yrs of living - giving so much of his time to the well being of mankind. It has been a pleasure and honor to know this outstanding citizen, employer and friend through the years. He will be dearly missed - May God Rest his Soul and may perpetual light shine up on him and may the Lord Bless and keep him forever within the Gates of Heaven - A fond farewell from a very grateful friend.
