I grew up on the north side and have known Frank since 3rd grade. Frank always took time to help us kids if our bike tires were flat, chains were loose or just needed the spokes adjusted. Even when he was busy he took time for the neighborhood kids. I have always took time to stop and visit with Frank when I used to see him in 4B’s restaurant. I have always been proud to visit with him no matter where we were. I will forever be grateful for how he treated us as kids with nothing, his kindness, thoughtfulness and care is unmatched in the world today. Go with God, rest in peace.
To his family, my deepest condolences to you, may God comfort you now and always with the best of memories. I will never forget Frank

Frankie, you have been by my side guiding me and protecting me my whole life. I will miss your phone calls every morning at 5 AM to tell me what your plans were for the day, and then we would talk for over an hour about our childhood adventures and argue about world problems. Rest in peace. I will miss you.

I always loved running into Frank. He would always make it a point to stop and shoot the breeze about the good old days at the restaurant. I don’t think I ever saw him in a bad mood and he always had a smile on his face. Rest in peace Frank.😪❣️

My sympathy to the Leskovec family. Frank and I go way back to when I was just starting our learning how to work on cars. I would always go to his salvage yard, Buy the part I needed, and was never allowed to leave until we enjoyed a cold bottle of pop from his antique 10 cent coke machine, and a hour or more getting educated on fixing cars, He will be missed his knowledge will be missed and his big smile will be missed, Rest in peace my friend, and prayers to the family.

Leskovec family-My sincerest condolences to your family during this difficult time. Frank was a good friend to my late husband and myself for many, many years. He was just a phone call away if Lloyd had mechanical questions, needed fabrication help or just grabbing a part out back. Frank was a friend to many and always took a moment to chat. He will be missed.

If you needed help finding something ask Frank.
Chances are if he didn’t have it he knew where to find it.
