John “Jack” E. Frank, passed away on Monday, May 26, 2025 at the age of 95 years. He was born in Racine to Anthony “Tony” and Gertrude “Gertie” Frank on January 25, 1930.

He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church for almost 50 years, serving as an usher for the Saturday 5:00 PM Mass. Jack had a special gift for golf, gardening and carpentry. He loved playing cards like sheepshead and cribbage, where he even managed to get a perfect hand in cribbage! In 1955 he married the former Bernadine “Bernie” Jansen at Holy Name Parish in Racine.
