Frank Joseph Rork was born on August 9, 1951 to Frank and Mary Jane Rork. He was the second child of seven, born from this loving union. Frank passed away peacefully on October 6, 2022 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio. Frank was 71 years old.

Frank was a 1969 graduate of Central Catholic High School. After graduation, Frank was drafted into the United States Army. He proudly served his country as a military police officer and was honorably discharged in 1973. After his service in the armed forces, Frank began his professional career as a Drafter and Cost Estimator, retiring as a Construction Manager in the Modernization Department with the LMHA in 2011.

Frank was a loving husband to Mary Beth, with whom he would have celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary on October 12th. He was a proud father to his son, Dan, adored his daughter-in-law, Emma, and fiercely loved his grandchildren, Weston, Lenna, and Mattie. Frank enjoyed attending and cheering for his grandchildrens' sporting events. He was in attendance to see Weston score his first hockey goal of the season.

In retirement, Frank and Mary Beth enjoyed spending time with their friends at the club and found joy in each other's company, often just sitting in their back yard. Frank thoroughly enjoyed cooking for his family, and took great pride in his specialty items that his family looked forward to on holidays.

Frank was affectionately named "Pots" by Weston. Pots will forever remain in the hearts of his grandchildren.
