Tom and Dolores, I am so sorry about your loss. Your in my thoughts and prayers

Frank(dad) you came into my life almost 36 years ago. Throughout those years I had the great opportunity to learn from your life experiences. I can truly say that you are one of two people in my life that had the biggest hearts and spirit for life. I learned a lot from you including my love for cooking. I the passed 30 years you were the only dad I knew and I loved you like you were my dad. I love you and will always remember you and keep you in my heart forever. Dolores

Dear Uncle Frank,

I have many fond memories of the times we spent together growing up in St. Cloud and visiting your at your Alex lake home. You always made me laugh and fell welcome.

You were a great guy and a talented chef. You will be missed.

In Loving memory we pray for you and your family.

Well I need to say Uncle Junior, that was the name we grew up knowing you as. You always had a great spirit about yourself. Which is why we all have kind things to say about you. I remember when you came to the Lobster Boil at our house. We all had such a good time and my neighbors all enjoyed getting to know you. It is one of the memories my children remember you . So glad we were able to visit with you at the Symanietz Party recently. Love you and we will see you again.

Wow, well where to start… There’s so many things I could say about the man my Grandfather was and the things that I learned from him. When I was a young boy, my favorite times were any that were spent with him, and if he had an interest, it quickly became one of mine as well. Whether he knew it or not he also taught me many valuable life lessons, like always being kind/generous towards people, how to always make time to have fun and enjoy life, as well as passing on his entrepreneurial spirit to me. Thank you for all the knowledge you have imparted on me, I miss you and we’ll all see each other again some day in time!

To my beloved Grandpa, the only I’ve ever known. You’ve taught and shared things with me that I will forever remember you by. The art of cribbage, the roar of a four wheeler, fishing on the lake, the song “Elmira” and “shoplifting” at Pete’s County Market to name a few. I know now your spirit is resting in a peaceful and loving place. All my love to you.
Your only Granddaughter, Brandy.

Dear uncle, you will be sorely missed by many, including me. Whenever I have thought of you and will think of you a smile comes to my face. You were always a fantastic uncle and always had time for us as kids when we would visit. The cheese store was a favorite memory and I was always so proud of you for being of an entrepreneur and having your own businesses. I will always have you in my heart, and know you are with my mom and dad, wonderful aunts and grandma & grandpa. I know I will see you all again one day.

Wow what time I had with my big brother. I got to know him better then I ever have. He was a fatastic fun loving person. The last eight months he lived with me and Erv was so joyful he was so loving and entertaining and what he did for me is so priceless. I had so much fun we laughed and we criied and talked so much about so many thing. I was not ready to give him up so my heart is broken, but I wont for get him for the joy he gave me. He was so funny loving and caring.God Bless Him and untill we meet again.I love you. I would do this again in a heart beat for you

Uncle Frank I remember the days I was young and growing up. The time you spent at our home looking for work in Ill. The time when you worked at the pure oil station, and the time you had the cheese stores. It was alway great to travel to Minn. and visit You, Mary and Tom along with the rest of our family up there. Where has time went? It seems only weeks ago yet it has been years. Now I will carry my time with you in my memory forever. Thanks Uncle for all the great memories. Bruce

I will always remember my Uncle Frank for his gentle heart and joyful spirit. He loved to joke around with people and always knew how to make people smile. I am grateful and honored that I got to spend the time I did with him his last few months. In those times we talked about life…his travels, favorite memories and our love of cheese! Being around him showed me the importance of family. Life isn’t about money or things, but the relationships we have with those we love. Thank you for sharing that with me Uncle Frank. I love you and will miss you–but I will not forget you.
