Frank Boles Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by The House of Day Funeral Service, Inc. on Dec. 17, 2025.
Frank Edward Boles, Jr. peacefully departed this life on Monday, December 15, at his home following a lengthy illness. He was born on December 2, 1933, in Wyatt, Missouri, to the late Frank and Roberta Boles.

Frank was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Gertrude Boles; his parents, Frank and Roberta Boles; his brother, Casper Lee Boles; his sister, Rosetta Cowson; and his brother-in-law, Erie Cowson.

He honorably served in the United States Air Force for four years. After many dedicated years of service, Frank retired from National Casting in 1995. In his leisure time, he found great joy in fishing and was a lifelong, devoted fan of the Cleveland Browns, supporting the team from its very beginning. He was also an avid supporter of The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cleveland Indians.

Frank leaves to cherish his memory his beloved daughter, Rosalind Ollison of Hoschton, Georgia; his sons, Frank Edward Boles III and Eric Boles (Myra Larkett); and his treasured granddaughters, Monique Warford of Houston, Texas, and Latreese Hood (Chris) of Wasilla, Alaska. He is also lovingly remembered by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
