Frank A. Jankowski, 86, U.S. Army Veteran

He was born in Lorain on September 24, 1926 and remained a life-long resident of Lorain.

Frank was a World War II Veteran of the United States Army where he fulfilled duty assignments as a Corporal in both Europe and the Philippines. He was the recipient of the Army Occupation Medal as well as the World War II Victory Medal.

Mr. Jankowski was employed as a Control Room Operator for the Ohio Edison Company retiring in 1982.

In his free time, he enjoyed baseball, bird watching, solving crossword puzzles, and keeping up on current events by reading the newspaper. He received the greatest enjoyment, however, from watching his grandchildren grow up.

He was preceded in death by his wife Veronica (nee Petrosky), by his parents Anthony and Anastasia (nee Klik) Jankowski, by brothers Edward, Anthony “Boxer”, Bernard “Bruno”, and Hank, and by sisters Stella Dobriezewski, Josephine Kowalski, and Mary O’Brien.
