I think you Dad was one of the finest men I have ever met. My husband Frank and I had moved to Forest Lake in 1972 and Elaine and Frank were so welcoming and such role models to us. We had a young family, and to just see how Elaine and Frank lived their lives, with their family, and especially with their faith, was such an inspiration to us. We know they had their hard times too, but always had a smile or an act of kindness to show us. I have a set of stacking dolls which I received from them on their 50th wedding anniversary. They are in my living room and whenever I look up or dust them, I think of your Mom and Dad. They were two of the best. All in Heaven must be rejoicing!!!
Fran, Ron, Ben & Angie,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on your loss. Fran, I know how devoted you were to caring for your dad. My prayer is that God will smile down on you all at this time and allow you to celebrate the life of your dad and Ben and Angie’s grandfather.

I first came to know Frank after my father Frank had passed away. My newborn son was named Frank. Frank Svec always came and talked to us about my dad and had a continuing friendship with my son Frank. I thank him for that and my son, age 6, says he will miss him.
Christine Springer and family
We first met Frank when we started volunteering at the hospital. George and Frank’s friendship grew as the months/years passed. We had many conversations about just anything that came to mind. I did enjoy the days we worked together. We both send our love and God’s Blessing’s to all the family. And may God’s love comfort you in the coming days. Bless you all.

My sincere sympathy goes out to the family at this time,because of the loss of a dear father, grandfather, & great grandfather. It is hard for all of us to lose a loved one, but, as we all know, it is inevitable. May God Bless you all at this time.
Svec Family,
Frank will be missed by all who knew him or of him. He and Elaine were two of the most devout volunteers St. Peter’s ever had. They were our son and daughter-in-laws Prepare Couple and what a gift they were to them and our family. We are sorry for your loss and our prayers extend to each of you. Blessings of peace during this difficult time of yet another great loss for your family.
