Frank Kaczmarek Sr. – Monongahela
Frank Kaczmarek Sr., 82, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023. He was born Aug. 24, 1941, to the late Walter and Anna Mucha Kaczmarek. Frank was a 1959 graduate of Donora High School. He was a member of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Monongahela. He was employed at Motor Supply in Donora for 25 years. After retirement, he worked alongside his lifelong friend, Tom Sverck, at CSC Insurance until his passing. Frank was the patriarch to his family and beloved Pop Pop to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Frank enjoyed spending time at his cabin, watching NAS-CAR, and most of all riding his tractor. Frank always had a smile on his face, a positive spirit that was contagious and will be dearly missed by everyone who was blessed enough to know him. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and beautiful wife of nearly 64 years, Phyllis Lazzari Kaczmarek; two sons, Frank (Michele) Kaczmarek Jr. of Carroll Township and Gary Kaczmarek of Finleyville; daughter, Christine (John) Rossi of Carroll Township; seven grandchildren, Nicole (Josh) Hickey, Erica (Angelo) Genchur, Ryan (Bryan) Kaczmarek, Maria (Kyle) Shannon, Dimitri (Mitzi) Rossi, Nick Kaczmarek and Evan Kaczmarek; and eight great-grandchildren, Jocelyn, Sadie, Giada, Luke, Faith, Giuliana, Grayson and Jack. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Walter Kaczmarek. Friends will be received from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023, at FRYE FUNERAL HOME INC., 427 W. Main St., Monongahela, where a blessing service will be held at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Gerald Mikonis officiating. Expressions of sympathy may be made to the family at www.fryefuneralhome.com.
