Francis Ferdinand Lorbiecki

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Francis "Frank" Ferdinand Lorbiecki, who left us peacefully on February 17, 2025, at the age of 88. He was born on May 23, 1936, in Franzen, Wisconsin, to Rupert and Pearl Lorbiecki.

Frank was a proud veteran who served in the Army from June 19, 1956, to June 18, 1958 in the C-BTRY 195th AAA, 4th Armored Division in Fort Hood, Texas. After serving his country, he took on the role of a dedicated laborer at UOP Bostrom, where he spent many years working hard in the factory. He didn't just work; he enjoyed life to the fullest. Francis was a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers, often found cheering for his teams on game days.

When he wasn't rooting for his favorite sports teams, he was out in nature hunting or fishing, enjoying the great outdoors. Gardening was also a passion of his, and he took pride in growing delicious vegetables. Anyone who knew Frank can attest to his friendly, approachable nature and the warmth he brought to every gathering, especially family get-togethers.

Family was everything to Frank. He cherished the moments spent with his granddaughter and great-grandson. He is survived by his two sons, Glenn and Roger (Barbara) Lorbiecki, grandchildren Deanna Lorbiecki, Dustin (Jessica) Lorbiecki, and Ashley (Kyle Wincentsen) Lorbiecki, great-grandchildren, Kal'El, Brayden, and Bryn Lee as well as his siblings, Patricia (Charles) Delikowski and Margaret (the late Felix) Kostuch. He is further survived by other relatives and friends

Frank is preceded in death by his wife, Victoria, son Kenneth Lorbiecki, daughter-in-law, Anita, and siblings Evelyn (Kenneth) Nettesheim and Clarence (Elizabeth) Lorbiecki.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, March 8 at St. Ladislaus Catholic Church, 173141 State Highway 153, Hatley, from 9:30 am until the time of the memorial service at 11 am.

Rest in peace, Frank. You will be missed more than words can express.
