Francis Carl Obituary
He graduated from Liberty High School and then went on to serve in the US Army from 1964 until he was honorably discharged in 1968. During his tour of military duty, Frank was assigned to the 173 Airborne Brigade (The Herd) and was one of 4,000 from that unit which was the first to be deployed into the Vietnam War, arriving there on May 7, 1965. His awards included the Parachuter's Badge, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with two bronze stars, Republic of Vietnam Campaign medal, and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Forces medal. After being honorably discharged, Francis worked at Bethlehem Steel for many years until his retirement where he worked as a tax preparer. Francis was known for his love of the Dallas Cowboys Football Team and watching his granddaughters play softball.
He is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Renee, wife of Marty Olewine, Elie Jabbour and his wife, Katarzyna, his grandchildren: Alyssa, Yesmine, Alexandra, and Gabriel, his brothers, Ornan and his wife Debbie, and Joel and his wife Barbara, his sister, Sharon Angel, and many nieces and nephews.

Our condolences to the family. My late husband Bob Ehrgott and his family were friends for may years. Carl Ehrgott , who also passed away a few years ago., worked with your father at the Steel. Every year he did our taxes and my husband would tease him about being a Cowboy fan. We admired all the the Cowboy stuff he had. A lot that he got on QVC. We spent more time talking about anything and everything. Joked and laughed.
He was very special and will truly be missed.
From the Ehrgott Family, Sandy, Jeff and Teri and Susan

Please accept our condolences. Friends of ours referred us to Frank to have our taxes done. We've know him for about four years and became friends. He was always kind and caring, a true gentleman. Funny as well! We will truly miss him. May his memory be eternal.
God Bless!

Dear Renee, Elie, Danny and Families: Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of Frank, who was a loving husband to your mom and sister. We knew him to be a quiet and good man who loved and cared for Mary Lou until her untimely passing. We will miss him as a neighbor and hope you will find peace in knowing he is with Mary Lou in spirit now.
God Bless You All.

Frank was warm, caring, funny and a good friend to all. He very much liked the dandelion wine my husband had made. I will miss him. The world lost another wonderful guy.
So sad.
