Sad news, Frank Rostorfer follow up

Some of you may know Frank but not by name. At the Buckeye Farm Antiques consignments Frank was always one of them pulling the trailers up to the auctioners stand And his wife is a cousin to the main auctioner, Dick Alexander. I got this info yesterday but did not have time to post then. He was down in Logan county with his 81 year old neighbor driving (10 mile from home) and a 17 year old boy pulled out of a private drive and crossed the center line and hit them head on. Couple of inches of first snow of season on ground. Boy was probably on his way to school just a few mile from there. Besides his wife Judy he has one son and 2 daughters plus grandkids plus a brother and 2 sisters, (only knew his wife and Dad). Anyway visitation is this afternoon with services tomorrow. If you want any more info email me. Any condolences I will print out for the family. Lester Helmlinger

Thanks for posting that, Lester. I will be there this afternoon. Such a sad and needless loss. He will be missed by all of his friends and family.

First of all, thank you Leroy for sending this on to Judy and family. We met Frank many years ago when we were all working in the International Cockshutt Club. Frank was such a friendly guy, the first thing I think of with Frank was "HAPPY". and that was the story of his life, and the love of his life Judy. He was always on the lookout for us at the show, and first thing you knew, across the field came Frank and his "crew". All of them wanting to see that we were settled in and willing to do whatever to have that happen. Although a few years have passed since we frequented the shows, the memories of those days is still clear.

We were sorry to hear of his death, and even though we will not see him again, we know that heaven will never be quite the same. Frank will see that all is happy up there. Judy, to you and your family we wish to send our sorrow at Franks passing, but you sure had an awesome man in your life all these years, May your memories sustain you. We had wanted to make the trip down to see you all, but time did not allow that, but please know that we are with you in spirit. Love and prayers, Pete and Norma Strong
