Francis L. Prymak

1938 - 2022

Francis L. "Frank" Prymak, 83, of Shenandoah, passed away peacefully Monday evening, Feb. 7, 2022, at his residence with devoted family by his side.

Born Sept. 26, 1938, in Shenandoah, he was a son of the late Frank and Blanche (Gilewicz) Prymak.

He was a 1956 graduate of the former J.W. Cooper High School, Shenandoah.

Mr. Prymak was a decorated Army veteran, having received the Good Conduct Medal.

Prior to his retirement, he was employed for over 20 years at Ateeco Inc., Mrs. T's Pierogies, Shenandoah, as a line operator.

Frank was a member of Divine Mercy Parish, Shenandoah, St. Casimir's Church.

He enjoyed the outdoors, especially gardening. He liked fixing things around the house or anything in need of repair; he always made good use of his carpentry tools. He was a great fan of the polkas; Frank watched them on WVIA on Saturday nights and made his radio requests on a Sunday with Polka Joe for "Pop Prymak of Shenandoah." Above all, he cherished the time spent together with his family.
