Son of Joseph and Maria Grainer. Loving father of Frank (Maureen) and James with wife Elizabeth, and Joseph with 2nd wife Susan. Devoted grandfather of Paige, Alexander and Ashley. Proud and adoring Great-Grandfather of Lola, Ruby, Willow and Hendrix.

Frank was successful in business and was best known for owning LA-Z-BOY Furniture Galleries for over 35 years. He enjoyed many hobbies including golf, fishing and breeding and raising fish. He was a member of an international fish society and received awards and accolades for his work.
Frank also loved to socialize and play cards with his buddies and watch and support all of Wisconsin sports with his all-time favorite team being the Green Bay Packers.
