The memories of gardening and playing cards together will never be forgotten! Thanks for always making our trips to WV so special. Love you and miss you.
The memories of our trips to West Virginia will never be forgotten. Some of the best times were playing cards while snacking on your homemade pizzelles! Love you and miss you.
Many of us are brokenhearted right now, but take comfort knowing Jesus will remember Uncle Frank when he comes into His Kingdom. As long as I can remember(and I lived behind Uncle Frank when growing up in my Weirton neighborhood)I have never ever seen him upset or in a bad mood!! He was a good sport. He will always be one of my heros! Since we can’t be there, Robert and Susan, and Barbara, please know we are thinking of you today. love, Anna and Marc Muscaro
Dear Uncle Frank, We have such fond memories of you and will miss you greatly. I’m sure you’re making pizelles and prune pies in heaven right now! We love you. Hank, Marie, Addie and Hudson Bockus
Barbara & Bob, I’m sad not to be with you as you celebrate your dad’s life. He truly was a remarkable man. Despite the many health challenges he had, he never indulged in self pity and pushed himself to be active, productive, and independent. He had more energy and accomplished more than most half his age. I will miss his smile, sense of humor, fresh garlic, tomatoes, and moon size zucchini! He was fun to be with and appreciated nature’s blessings and abundance. His high school yearbooks reflect his love of sports early on. What an incredible man he was! May happy and proud memories comfort you. I’m sure he and Stephanie are playing Euchre with all their family and friends in a huge Polish heavenly celebration!
Barbara and Bob, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. No one is ever prepared to lose a parent. Your dad always touched our hearts with his kind manner and sense of humor. He was especially beloved to our children. A trip to Weirton was never complete without a visit to Uncle Frank with a round of pinochle & a trip to the cellar for some of Bob’s homemade wine! Enjoy the memories and peace will follow.
My tears of sadness quickly turn to tears of joy and laughter when I remember the many wonderful memories I have of Uncle Frank. It is physically impossible to think of him and not smile. We are so grateful to have known Uncle Frank and will always have a special place in our hearts for this man. Barbara and Bob, We hope that you find peace in the many happy memories you have of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Love, Bree & Brent
