Eugene Franks Obituary
Eugene Philip "Gene" Franks, age 79, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 23, 2022, at his home in Chetek, WI. He was born on November 22, 1942, in Chicago, IL, the son of Paul and Margaret "Marge" (Bono) Franks.
Gene proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps.
