We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Uncle Frank. A devoted family and extended family man, true gentleman, and for us, a sweet and caring uncle, Theo Frank had many entertaining talents that enriched the lives of all who knew and loved him. Whether he was nostalgically narrating a story about his childhood in Greece, merrily leading a singalong with his sisters, or gracefully dancing the tango at a family celebration, Theo Frank did it all with great gusto!
Family gatherings, especially, were a source of joy for Theo and his guests. He loved sitting at a dinner table decorated with delicious, traditional dishes, discussing the latest world news and eagerly trying to find solutions to the pressing problems of the planet, only taking breaks for a bite to eat and to graciously compliment the cook. Dessert was accompanied by story time, and even though many of Theo's stories about war and poverty were sad, he always managed to find a life lesson in them, or at the least, threads of a silver lining.
Theo had the knack of connecting his kin to their Greek roots and to each other. He loved his homeland: the unbelievable beauty, rich culture and vast history of Greece, and he exuberantly shared his thoughts and feelings about these attributes, thus keeping his country of birth emotionally close to his heart, despite physically living so far away.
For these and so many other reasons, Theo Frank will be sorely missed and never forgotten, as our happy times with him will live on in our memories forever. We love you Theo. Rest in peace.
With love,
Youla and Eleftheria
