  8. Frank and Donna’s house was my second home growing up. I did so many things with Beth and her family over the years and adored Frank and his sense of humor. There was never a dull moment around him! He will always have a special place in my heart filled with childhood memories. He was such a great family man and always a hard worker. My thoughts and prayers are with Donna, Lisa, Beth, Deb & Patty, as well as all of the grandchildren. The world lost a great man and he will be missed.

  12. Donna and family,

    Met Frank in 1978 when I started my banking career at Wayne Savings. I learned so much about appraising and lending from him. We became good friends over the years. He had so much knowledge about banking and life. We loved staying in the Siesta Key condo.
    I enjoyed our daily conversations. Not only in the bank, but on the phone. For years we started our day off with the phone call.

    Such a good man! He will be missed and never forgotten. It was indeed my pleasure to know him and your family!

    God Bless.

    YOU have no idea what you, DONNA & FRANKare/weretome growing up!
    You were always there at Grandma Appleman’s for Thanksgiving soooo many times.
    Plus, Ella & Howard had us to your/their place at that many ah time!
    Still funny all the great times I had helping with the hay mow, and Frank was there
    to help Grandpa! You know he DID a GREAT job all HIS LIFE on this earth! (County Fair)
    Now, Frank is doing a GREAT JOB with the LORD: AT PEACE/SHALOM!
    He’s no doubt talking with Dad about a cow that is sick, or his NEAT old cars!

    God’s love and Condolences!

  22. I am so sorry to hear that Frank has passed. He was a friend of my dad, Milton Pollmeier. I enjoyed hearing them talk when he visited our house. All of us did a lot of laughing when those two were together. My dad, Frank and Ford Sterling were all friends who had the same interest in Model A cars. Recently I told someone I wanted to look Frank up and visit with him. I waited too long.
