Frank Bernhauser Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by T.J. Fluehr Funeral Home on Mar. 12, 2026.
Frank Bernhauser, age 87, of Philadelphia, passed away on March 10, 2026.

Frank was drawn to the call of the outdoors. He was a dedicated deer hunter, spending time each fall in the big woods of Potter County. He was also an avid fisherman and enjoyed the tranquility of French Creek. A true sportsman, Frank taught both of his children and his many grandchildren how to hunt and fish. He loved the time he got to spend hunting and fishing with his family at his side. He raised and trained many Labrador Retrievers over the years and also liked to bowl.

Beloved husband of 62 years to Audrey (nee Parise). Cherished father of Deborah Spiro and Frankie (Denise) Bernhauser. Devoted grandfather of Daniel (Alison) Appleton, Anthony (Laura) Bernhauser, Jason Appleton and Cole Spiro. Loving great-grandfather of Riley. Dear brother of Ida Friel.

Services will be private.
