Born in Slovenia on February 21, 1935, Frank immigrated to the United States where he built a family of his own and began his career as a baker for Ward Baking Co. and Hough Bakery for over 30 years. A member of the Local 19 Teamster’s Union and KSKJ, Frank was incredibly proud of his Slovenian heritage and would often listen to Slovenian Polka on the Radio. 

In his free time, he could be found watching bowling and other local sports, classic western films, and horseracing. What brought him the most joy in life however, was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was undoubtably a family man who had a sharp sense of humor and a generous heart. A perfectionist who was always on time, he was also a handyman with a strong work ethic, able to fix anything he got his hands on. Most importantly though, he was an excellent teacher to everyone around him and encouraged them to never turn down an opportunity to learn. Frank passed away on January 11, 2025, in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, leaving behind a legacy of perseverance and good will towards his fellow man.
